Now if you want to be greedy and spec every new option, then yes you will be spending more. That is on you though, not BMW. Those new options are not provided for free. They already made moonroof($1050 on F87) and adaptive suspension(only on CS) standard. I guess BMW could have provided a watered down option list like the F87 to make you happy.

There is no cheaper way to get the S58 bolted to a chassis with 4 wheels and a warranty (both standard and maintenance). Value for money, it completely obliterates the overpriced F87s we’ve seen for the past year or so. |

I have adaptive suspension on my Golf R. 99.9% of the time, it's in the "Normal" mode, or middle of 3 settings. Why? Because all these fancy adaptive systems do is alter the shock valving. The spring rates are what they are. You can't optimize a single spring rate for 3 different settings on the shocks/struts. One of the F87 engineers commented on this in one of the M2c videos when he was asked why it wasn't included in the F87. Funny how when you actually ask an engineer rather than a marketing guy, you get a straight answer. He said basically what I'm saying - you can optimize for one shock setting, that's it. So when you soften the shocks, you're over-sprung, and when you go stiffer than normal, you're under-sprung. And that's exactly how my Golf R feels in either of the other modes.

What's the deal with the Parking Assistant deleting the Rearview Camera and Park Distance Control? Does that mean it's included in the Parking Assistant option?

$1550 on the M3 (Executive Package) includes HUD, Heated Steering Wheel (-$200), Power Tailgate (not available on the 2 series), SensaTec Dash. $1950 on the M240 (Premium Package) includes HUD, Adaptive Full LED lights (-$650), Heated Seats(STD), Heated Steering Wheel (-$200), Universal Carhole Opener(STD). Based on these comparisons, looks like HUD is $1100 for the M2 Still not sure I'll add it for $1100. Don't use it on my R. Plus hard to see with my polarized sunglasses |

Tried using the park assist on the R. Didn't trust it. No thanks. I'll park myself. |

It is what it is and some will gladly pay for the other things to get the bucket, IMO, it shouldn't be all or nothing.

Cue to even magazines complaining about a 'six figure M3' when they've optioned CCB brakes, CF buckets, etc. There is a lot of value in the 'base' version of any M. That BMW offers cool options like CF seats is a blessing, not a curse. |

Why are you even talking about "tag/title, dealers fees, markup, taxes, and financing" you have that in every single car you buy. What does that even have to do with the price of this car and it being affordable or not? The only thing that even changes is the taxes but you have to pay all of that anyway. |
