Most loaded competition

[john970]

Anyone get every option? I'm not counting auto transmission and not sure whether active steering should count either.

I'm loaded up except for the satellite radio and the above mentioned items.

I get satellite radio on my computer at a much higher bitrate and transfer it to my iPod, can't stand the compression artifacts on regular satellite radio.

I got everything except HD Radio, the ski baggie (but added butt warmers), and auto transmission. ... yes i even got active steering!

a dubious honor

No Nav. No Auto. No Active Steering. No SAT Everything else.

[PUREPHAZED]

No Active but everything else.
No need for sirius or HD radio... Just my iPhone.
It will be my daily and for long long long Touring trips.

I have hd radio primarily because you get some funky non mainstream channels (some commercial free) and also NPR in better quality than AM radio.

[PUREPHAZED]

NPR is great! I usually DL the podcasts.

Satellite programming and selection is better than regular radio but the quality is really awful over the air. The internet stream is much better (128k wma) and I generally record a few hours a day of it and put it on my ipod or iphone (stern!).

I passed on the HD radio. I have two of them in my house, but I'm not sure what is the benefit where I live. Progamming is the same. They sound great on all channels, HD or not. I can't tell the difference. They are just good quality radios/alarm clocks.

I passed on the ski bag. Not much skiing goes on around here!

All other options are included.

And if that's not enough to draw some fire, get this: When my wife and I bought our first car together, back in the 70s, it was a 4 cylinder Volvo DL 240 that, at her insistance, was a stick shift. She likes shifting. I wanted auto, so we got stick. She wont be driving this car much, so it's auto with AS.

Until now, I've been your typical "get from A to B reliably and in comfort" sort of guy. This is my first car ever that was anything more than that. I didn't want to miss out on anything so I got everything. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited about all of this!

I don't have the figures here with me. MSRP+TTL. Same as in configurator with Alpine White/Terra/PianoBlack.

I'm just hoping I don't have to pay for those floor mats!

[TP 135i]

My SGM 135i will have (by Monday, I hope) all options except:
Auto transmission
Ski Baggy
Active Steering
Park Distance Control

[ChrisK]

I have never heard them called butt pimples!!!!!

[john970]

Yeah I wasn't going to get it either but then I heard you get this cool display on the idrive screen and couldn't resist.

I dont like the dots either but hey, whatever.

I'm using the ski sack for my roller hockey sticks! Beats having to fold the seats down everytime. My R32 seats would not fully fold down if the front seats were too far back. I'm assuming that the same would happen in the 1 series. Therefore the ski sack comes in handy. :headbang:

The ski bag is really useful and its always better for resale to say you have the "package."

+1

for $100 and the potential option of a new sub, i voted the same. i originally thought i'd save $100 but i think it's worth it to be able to claim the packagage as well.

WOW, really good point. Although I'm not that concerned with resale value cuz I keep cars for a long time.
BUT I'm not changing now....it's being built and is supposed to be complete this Monday.
