Cold Weather Pkg?

BMRADCT · 10-30-2007, 04:27 PM

Ordering 335xi sdn this week and have a question. If I get the car with heated seats and no cold weather will I not be able to fold the rear seats or will I just not have the hole in the armrest? Also, the package doesnt include headlight washers on the xi's does that mean they are standard or just not available?

I believe you will only have the hole. Also, the headlight washers are not an option, they only come in the cold weather pack. Don't worry about though, as I find my headlight washers to be about as useless as the New York Jets Offensive Line.

BMdblU · 10-30-2007, 04:44 PM

headlight washers do nothing but spray down the entire front of the car.. quite useless imo

S_M · 10-30-2007, 04:48 PM

headlight washers are standard on xi's

havent used mine yet, id guess they make a huge mess though

Living in Norcal I see no use for the actual cold weather stuff. Fold down seats is nice though, and I want to take my headlight washers and retrofit them to spray down the intercooler / oil cooler.

When driving through a mountain pass that has been sanded, or on a road that has melting snow/slush mixed with sand, the headlight washers do wonders. I have seen a noticable difference on a long night time drive in those conditions.

They would have to be spraying mud on your headlights to be that useless.

just get the package how expensive can it be relative to the car

Tonye90xi · 10-30-2007, 05:14 PM

I don't know about the wipers. In my 07 sedan that has heated seats but no cold weather package I cannot fold the back seat down.

garyhgaryh · 10-30-2007, 05:19 PM

I'm trying to decide whether or not it's worth paying that much $$ for folding rear seats. I saw a 335i coupe with the CW pkg and the folding seats are nice, but I'm not sure if I'll get $700 worth of use in the car's lifetime.

Folding seats are standard in the Coupe, with or without CWP.

e90fanatic · 10-30-2007, 05:45 PM

$700?? ur trying to justify $700???!

BMRADCT · 10-30-2007, 05:51 PM

I dont really care about the washers I was just confused why they wouldnt be available on all wheel drive which is more likely to make use of them. My salesperson couldnt say if they are standard or just not available.
The folding seat thing just confused me bc my 330ci has folding seats but no CWP. I dont know that I would ever get use out of it anyway.

e90fanatic · 10-30-2007, 06:00 PM

its up to you...but 1 dinner here in nyc can cost more than 700 bucks. If you're debating a $2000 option, yea but $700 is just so immaterial and cheap

BMCoupe_782 · 10-30-2007, 07:06 PM

go with it. didn't order many options with mine but decided this one was worth it.

Do you routinely go to $700/dinners? It's just like saying there's a dessert that goes for $2000 (gold foil ice cream). Does it mean the $700 is a bargin for something you don't need? I think not.

350/pp dinners here are pretty common here. In meals, I probably spend over 10k a year on it

but just suit it to your budget

350/pp dinner common? What are you smoking man?
Either you are very rich or not very good with your money or both!
Can I afford a 350/pp dinner? Yeah, but the last time I did a $700 dinner
was.... uh wait.... uh... never..
so you must be a high roller! What is your rent/mortgage like?

it's manhattan man. what do you expect? the great thing is that you can either live high or cheap. And both are great. I don't eat 350pp meals all the time but probably 3-5 times a year. Rent around here is about 3000 for 2 bedrooms but just bought a place, didnt take a mortgage
