is this normal? as i am now confused since seeing that some people are requiring the Y cable for integration.

Y Cable allows genre's to show up and also for playing of DRM music purchased from the itunes store... probabaly a bit less relevant now considering apples removing DRm from the store.

Also got all the usual stuff..

# Golf Umbrella
# Ipod cable
# Floor mats
# Key Rings
# BMW caps

But the best two gifts were the BMW embossed leather wine bottle carrier..

Also the dealer invited my wife and I to the BMW private box for the Golden Slipper at Rose Hill racetrack...

I want that sort of update on my car order!

No, I just found the best view online of the shifter. Once I get my car I'll make a better one.

Still unclear, should I ask my dealer "Where's myyyy gift?"

ahh k.

well after singing the paperwork they send us over to the accessories lady where you choose paint protection and all the shit no-one wants. She scrubbed off the mats as an option as she said the car comes with those anyway. *shrug*

They will not let a car delivered without mats.
