If I had to be super nit picky and wanted an absolutely perfect vehicle, this would be my list:
- Anthracite wood trim for MSport models. - Full Black Panel instrument cluster like the F10. - HUD visible with Polarized Sunglasses - Smaller Key fob like the new X5 By the way: 1. The MSport brakes dust like crazy. 2. If you feel like you're missing out on the LED headlamps from the F32, don't; the HIDs are very good. 3. The touch pad is used for data entry and not much more. |

You are right. It does allow you to scroll and pin zoom in/out. Will try and post some pics soon. Car is so filthy, all I want to do is wash her!.....darn long hours in the office

I'm pretty sure you have to be in the interactive map to scroll and zoom in/out with the touch controller. Will confirm tonight.
A lot of tech for me to get up to speed on, lol!....and its my first BMW too! |

You may be able to see the HUD with polarized sunglasses. If the polarization lines up just right you will see nothing. If it's not quite lined up, the HUD image is dim (maybe too dim to see). If you are lucky, the polarization on your sunglasses doesn't line up at all, and it will look fine.
I have to tilt my head a little to see the HUD clearly with my sunglasses on. I'm sure it looks ridiculous... I've since ordered (prescription) non-polarized sunglasses to keep in the car. |

Guys it's late after a long day at work, but, I managed to put together a quick and rough video on the touch controller. I messed up a few times (called the car a 2013, when its a 2014); but I think you'll still get the general gist of it. Enjoy!

Thanks for the video! The nav seems extremely responsive and very nice. I'm excited to get mine. Also, that's great news about ASS. I was wondering if they'd give in and do something like that.

Well, there is a work around to that. If you go into I-drive and turn off the HUD, the scroll list moves down to the instrument cluster. Last edited by EvenKeel; 08-02-2013 at 10:44 AM.. |

I should note that I can still see the HUD, but it becomes very dim with polarized lenses. I have an Rx, so my sunglass lenses have to be made, rather than just off the shelf.

Since the 3 series came out, every reviewer hated its operation and almost two years gone by and BMW still couldn't manage to improve the auto start/stop system! Instead they are letting us turn it off permanently |

Just spoke with my CA and the car will arrive at the dealership tonight, and I should be ready to pick it up tomorrow. Fingers crossed... I don't want to wait until Monday if I can help it!
