Comfort Access in Canada?

e9ty · 10-24-2005, 11:03 AM

hello to everyone, once again

I am new to the forum, I posted this topic before but I never got a chance to check the responses before the forum crashed.

I just wanted to know if there is anyway to get comfort access on the 325i in Canada, so far every dealership said it is not available and probably wont be in the near future.

Thanks for the help, and i cant wait until late november (expected delivery date

)

am in canada but i didn't get comfort access so i don't know.

what's good about comfort access? it's kind of wasting money. It's cool when u get ur key out to lock and unlock the doors!!!
I don't like putting my finger on handle to make the door locked.

I just think there is no point in having the start/stop button if you have to insert a key into the dash anyways, might as well have a standard ignition.

I agree with you about putting a finger on the handle to lock the door, it should lock as you walk away (imho), but I would like to just jump in the car push the button and go

I would call every dealer in your area and ask why you can't get it. It seems strange that it would not be available to Canadians but the US does have it. Seems strange.....

Yeah, the US has more choice. The base price is lower, the standard features on both the 325i and 330i are often pricey options in Canada. (example, burl wood trim and aluminum trim and sunroof) And what's even worse is that the base price in Canada (after currency rate taken into account) is a few grand more expensive. Also the maintenance program is not as complete comparatively. For example, wear and tear parts are not included in the 4 years "no-cost" maintenance.

comfort access is availible

thanks for the replies,

rs1985, do you know how much it will cost to special order Comfort Access, I thinks its is about $750 (CAN) as an option for the 330i.

At this point you will not be able to order Comfort Access for the 325 in Canada: its not even an option. It is only available on the 330. I don't believe a special order will help: only waiting until next model year may yield results
