Offering a sunroof on an M5 makes perfect sense, not only are the loss in performance or driving dynamics close to none, it is a family car after all. I'd rather question why there are convertible versions of 911:s instead, a car that is supposedly a sports car |

The Competition is suppose to be a more focused vehicle. Again, owners will enjoy them nonetheless. |

Even if that's not the case, VIRs are notorious for showing selections in the wrong section. For example, our DAP package showed the LED lights as a sub option to it which was not the case for MY18 M3s, at all. Bottom line, BMW is not about to "risk it all" for a backup camera in the US when it has inserted it into every car and earlier than it had to. They are not stupid. Once the ordering guide is posted or the first VIN comes out without exec pack we will see it as an included option. Lastly, it's not clear if a private right of action is created by the regulation. May just be a fine or a refusal to certify for safety on the road by the NHTSA. I guess theoretically there could be a class action claim if enough people were injured due to the failure, and we could have a products liability action, but as an attorney, that seems like a headache that costs marginal to avoid. All that nonsense above (from me) being said, I am with you in that it would be IDIOTIC for BMW to blatantly go against a regulation like this.

So where is this options list that's mentioned in the original post...? All I see is a spec list from a single '19 Competition vehicle.

Well I mean the no cost sunroof/carbonfibre choice has been here since the e9x, so it’s hardly something new. But why would more freedom of choice be a bad thing? While I would definitely choose the carbon roof, I still can see why people would do the contrary. In fact, during the summers I prefer to drive my 7er over my 5er just because of its sunroof

is ZCP officially no longer an order code now? Now the models will be called "competition"?

That's what it appears to be, as the M2 is also like this.

No more ZCP, The "Competition" becomes a separate model all together.

A little different on M2 where the "M2 Competition" replaced the M2.

Everytime I play satellite radio and then touch my phone it switches off the radio and goes back to the apps screen. Also, when someone sends a text and I open it while listening to music, it reads it out loud and I can't find a way to shut that off. There are a few other things that are annoying and not helpful.
