Price Hike for Executive Package

Just noticed on BMWUSA site that they've hiked the price of the Executive Package on the G12 7 Series by $500. When I ordered my G12 back in mid-January, the Executive Package price was $2,700. Now it's $3,200.

Anyone know why the hike?

There used to be two executive packages. One with and one without ceramic controls. The one without is $500 less but no longer available.

Hmmm, I guess that explains it. I was never presented with two options -- just the single $2,700 option. It'll be interesting to see if I have these fittings when my car arrives. It's due stateside this Saturday (then another week for it to get to my dealership).

If you have the $2700 package then you should not have the ceramic controls. Let us know when the car arrives though.

Ordering Guides

Here are the actual ordering codes. I was told by my dealer when I ordered at the beginning of March that ZEC was the only option after December.

Then it would seem TheBry would have ZEC since his car was built after December. Maybe he'll receive an unintentional additional $500 discount.

You're correct speeddeacon. Just took delivery of my car today and have confirmed I have the Ceramic Controls, despite them not being listed on my original order. Here are a couple of pics...

With all due respect, get your facts straight before correcting someone

You're wrong. I do, indeed, have Ceramic Controls, as depicted in the photos I posted. Ceramic Controls aren't black. I speak from knowledge here -- I had them on my last 7-Series as well. They're close to being black, but are actually more "gun metal" in color -- think very dark gray, not black. Anyway, Ceramic Controls are listed on the window sticker for my car, and these controls are very different from those in the standard 7 Series.

I've included a photo of the standard controls here. Notice how they're all silver (the audio knob, the iDrive controller, and the A/C knobs front and rear)? Now compare that to the photos of my car I posted, and you'll see for yourself.
