The RWD 2-series would not be economically viable without using the CLAR platform that is designed for all the current modular factory RWD and AWD (RWD-biased) production lines. It is really a case of using the only RWD ICE platform BMW now has or just have the FWD or AWD (FWD biased) UKL platform 2-series in the model range.

We need Individual colors, but that's a dilemma; the car becomes even more expensive. I'd just be content with at least a Silver and another lively color choice; 7 like in the 240i. Five is not enough thats for sure.

Carbon Trim $800, Carbon Roof $2600 and Carbon Seats +/- $4500, those are the things that appeal to me. That's $7900, the Driver and Track package I don't want or need; an additional $2000 I could option other things. Ultimately, they bank many will cave, but like you, think the take rate on the Carbon Package will be low. I expect to see many more cars with Carbon Roof option, the standard sports seat which are very supportive and comfortable.

Sad they haven't found a way to do Active Cruise Control with the manual...
I really want active cruise control for long drives to the mountains that adjusts with traffic. I don't see why it can't beep and yell at me to downshift as needed, or cancel and brake as needed. |

The funny thing is that you can shift with their current manuals and cruise control, so they're halfway there in the tech.
If you have an Fxx manual, set your cruise control and try shifting without touching the brake. The car handles it no problem. I went uphill through twisty mountains with cruise control and never touched the gas or break (the car brakes when you turn the wheel hard enough). It was a fun trip! (F22 M240i) |

Excuse my ignorance but what's the difference between Active Cruise Control and Dynamic Cruise Control? Just matching the car's speed ahead?

ACC is when you set a speed AND a distance behind the car in front of you and the car will track the car in front of you and stay that distance behind them.

Fully expect the MY24 ordering guide to offer standalone carbon buckets just to piss everyone off .

I could list a few benefits but one I could think off the top of my head is if you hotwire some of high-end dashcam to the vehicle and as long as there is an internet connection, you can view real-time activity around your vehicle or download archived video from the cloud. It's really a luxury but at $300, I would splurge and future proof my vehicle. I just wish they had integrated it better within the vehicle. I'm not sure what this separate SIM dongle is about but I'll figure it all out, in due time. . |

Edit: Head of Engineering mentions at around 2:40 mark that they will offer the Cup 2, and while he doesn't say it comes with Track package, we can infer it in the absence of another package.

I bet there would be a lot of unhappy people if they were also locked into Cup 2 tires to spec carbon buckets. I can see the logic in the bundle though. |
