True but you only get the xenon light, not adaptive or high beam assist. Which is what I meant

Which I why I am getting the high beam assistance, I don't really need or want the adaptive.

However the high beam assistance is very good.

Basically as per my original post

As wife's car has xenons, I must have them on this one.
Not to worried about adaptive lights tbh.
But the vis pack is only £215 when in conjuction with m sport plus pack. You've added high beam assistant for £150 so really you might as well get the vis pack!

Do you know about the magic things the vis pack makes your high beam do?

Yeah, most of it via the high beam assistance.

Also wife has converted options price to equate to bottles of wine.

The pro media, rather than business removes a number of bottles per month lol.

You know high beam assistant without adaptive does not do the fancy headlight dipping/tunnelling?

It will just be like E90 high beam assistant and simply turns high beam off when a car is coming!

So if you want them to work like in this video, you will need the Adaptive! For £65 extra it's a no brainer!

Ahh, all becomes clear ( no pun intended).

Was not how it was explained to me.

That means one Rioja less for me then.

Thanks for that nice simple explanation.

Will have a word next week.

I don't agree with that at all. It depends how you will use the car. Personally I hardly drive at night time, and when I do maybe 98% of it is on roads with street lights. So for me it wasn't necessary.

Cool!

BTW, why no heated seats? You know leather gets mighty chilly in winter? Especially the thick Dakota leather!

I did not want to lose any more wine for the heated seats.

It's the usual option thing, how much do you tick.

If I tick what I want, I get a 320, however I want. 330, so I have to minimise.

Pro media, was wife's demand, she says it's easier than business for her.

So not arguing over that with her lol.

Agree with Teaston.

I didnt add the Vis Pack in conjunction with my M Plus Pack.

It was working out another £11 a month and my budget was whacked!

If I did a lot of B Road and Night driving I would have added it .. but when I drive at night its just down the motorway home.

Does your current car have leather and no seat heaters?

My current car has heated seats, folding mirrors, and usual m sport plus for previous model tourer (2012).

So yes, I love heated seats but what do I drop off?

Remember it's only 3.5 miles to work.

If it's bloody cold or wet I tend to keep my coat on lol.

Well it would be for me, leather can get very cold in winter. Maybe not so much in this mild winter though.

I've had cloth/alacantara seats with no heating for the last few years which is fine as they aren't cold to the touch like leather.

Did you check to see how much they would add to your new car? They only added less than £10 a month for me and that's on a 2 year lease! They do add to residuals unlike the vis pack which I believe doesn't!
