On the streaming, iPod scrolling, and voice control, I'm not sure of all of the subtleties yet since I don't have my car. I am led to believe that voice control (speech recognition) is there for either 6NH or 6NL, but I couldn't tell from the literature. 6NH is now standard, while 6NL is an option. What they say about 6NH is that it has: - playback of audio files via the audio system for devices connected through the USB connection -operation of the USB device via the radio controls or multi-function steering wheel - wireless hands-free connection for compatible Bluetooth mobile phones. What they say about option 6NL is that it has: - all of the functionality of 6NH - eject box located in the centre armrest to accommodate a snap-in adapter from BMW Accessories -operation of USB device via iDrive controller, favorites buttons or voice control - BMW Assist with 1 year safety and security subscription. From this, I conclude that 6NH does not support operation of USB device via iDrive controller. Adaptive M suspension has an electrical connection to the suspension to adjust the damping, with different damping for the different driving modes (softer ride with COMFORT, stiffer ride with SPORT). Although I haven't seen any definitive statements in support, some people are saying that the adaptive M suspension is slightly stiffer ride that the passive M sport suspension (code 704). |

I wouldn/t know, but understanding the standard hourly rate for service, I'd be surprised if they would change your springs for stiffer ones, adjust the shock dampening and lower the body for $400. Let us know how it works out for you.

They corrected mine. Their system must have been upgraded to correct this oversight a few weeks ago. When I ordered the car, there was just one option 508 at $900. When they looked at my configuration recently, it indicated incompatible options selected. The error message disappeared when they selected the correct 508 option (with premium package) at $450.

- BMW mobile office - Bluetooth audio streaming - album cover art display - user can update the vehicle software to be compatible with select future devices and telephones - second microphone for passenger for improved hands-free capability - possibility to pair 2 mobile phones + 1 audio player simultaneously using Bluetooth - separate SIM card for BMW telematics integrated into the vehicle. Includes emergency call button. What might be of interest above is the ability to update the software for new devices. It would seem you only get this capability with this option, not the standard 6NH. |

Regarding the stiffer settings for Adaptive M Sport, the rationale is that owners of passive Sport suspension have to live with it all the time so it runs slightly softer than the Sport setting for the Adaptive M Sport suspension. I really feel for you guys on this because the information available over there is, frankly, rubbish. If it's any consolation, we don't get M Sports suspension (passive or adaptive) as standard in the UK either, even on the Sports Line. And, presuming it would be too firm with the RFTs I didn't add it as an option to my build. I just hope the standard suspension will be OK. |

Everything would show on the screen anyway, but they've chosen to make in inconvenient by taking away one method of selecting songs unless you pay. That's an assumption of course, but I just don't see why, if control of the technological features is centered around the drive wheel, they would take one thing and make you pay to use drive to do it. |

I think it makes sense that what you have should be in the f30....I have a problem if it was removed and made an option considering this functionality it becoming the standard across all vehicles in all segments.

Well, as I said, I don't have my car yet, so I can only go by what I read. Maybe what is written is misleading and all is well. Let's wait and see.

Just a question....with all the American buyers talking about what they paid above invoice...does anyone know where we can get invoice pricing info in Canada?
I know Carcostcanada claims to have invoice prices as well as info about factory to dealer incentives that dealerships may hold back...but Carcostcanada wants $40 and if the info they have is right, that's a good price..has anyone used them or any other similar services for a Canadian purchase? A guy on Bimmerfest who recently got ED for a 328 said he was able to pay $1500 above the ED invoice price...according to autocheatsheet.com, if you pay 4% above invoice, that's considered fair profit....$1500 on a car the price of a 328 is even less than 4%. |

They will give you the invoice price of ur build for free. I did that and now know what I should be paying. Just to let you know, you can easily get $1000 over invoice here in Canada. I'm getting slightly better than that. Just do the research...

I did get a reasonable discount when I purchased, but not as good as some have reported in the US. Then again, I didn't push too hard either, given that the car was just introduced. |

Does anyone know that BMW Open Road has just been bought out and now has a new owner...
What does this mean to potential buyers?

I'd like to also add the 328i Invoice price is $40,110... Work your way UP from the invoice price and NOT down from MSRP!
