High beam assistant is a great option, not too expensive from memory. Automatically dips your headlights when meeting cars and then goes back to main beam when clear. Nice little feature.

Currently have it on my 6, and to be honest used it once in 2yrs!

Take the Servotronic option, it much improves the steering. All the models had servotronic as standard until April 2009 when BMW removed it from certain models so they could save money - but it is good.

Hi Nips which complimentary upgrade packages are you opting for? The Professional Navigation?

+1.

Do a search, the LCI 330d got a poor review for the lack of steering feel

Hi... Yea!

[Anneka @ Sytner]

The black package is worth more money than the navigation, but if you're good without it then I would say the options that you've selected are spot on.
609 is the second most valuble on the option credit and you'll obviously get voice control with your professional navigation and bluetooth w/telematics, which will mean that you're USB interface is a particularly clever use of your money.

It's a good spec overall . Personally I think cars with Servotronic handle better on the motorway.

Anneka.... what does the black package contain? .... my dealer hasn't mentioned anything about packages?.... a little confused..

[davyk31]

I think if you look on the BMW website you get details of the complimentary upgrade packages you can choose from for the various models. Basically a free or reduced price upgrade package rather than more discount.

[Anneka @ Sytner]

For an E92 the main element in the package will be the wheels...

• 19" Spider Spoke style 199 wheel and tyre set in black
• Performance Black Kidney Grilles
• Carbon Fibre boot spoiler

As said though, your specification is really great, so unless you particularly want a black and white theme, the professional navigation may be the best way to go . Who are you ordering your car through? If it's one of mine tell them that I expect them to know about these packages.

nice selection you have there, these are my personal opinions

Servotronic Steering - i personally hate the idea of this, in theory it's good but i am so used to changing my steering based on speed it would be really weird to switch to this, i havent used it tho so i have no idea how drastic it changes the steering.

Seat heating, front - think this is quite gimmicky but if you will use it a lot then obviously you will want it. I am waiting for seat cooling!!

Park Distance Control (PDC), front and rear - rear comes as standard, would you need front as well? Guess it's nice to have.

TV function - This would be good but I heard it cant be played whilst driving? I would mainly have it on for a passenger, not sure when you would watch tv in your car other than waiting to pick someone up?


Overall love the options you have chosen as especially you went for the 330i in the end and m sport, great combo!!!

Isnt the mineral white the brand new paint released?

Park Lane are always brilliant, there may indeed be a reason for not mentioning this. If you want to know more about the package just ask them.

These aren't the best pictures of the package components, but they're all I have for the moment;

Nice ... Had a word and they gave me a discount on the nav.....I opted for the double spoke 313M wheels ... Which I prefer to the black...IMHO

[Anneka @ Sytner]

That worked out well. I like the 313M's too, they're really very nice wheels.

Do you have an iphone? The bluetooth auido for £65 or so is a great option - Full control over your iphone, whilst its in the cradle.

Is that the Telephone USB audio interface (6NF) ?
