I thought you were only allowed to do one euro delivery per person per year?

Maybe that is a USA rule?

Looks like fun - Cant wait for my GTS and M2

Seriously? That's idiotic. All my Porsches came with them, as did my McLarens.

I do believe some (all?) tracks require an accessible fire ext.

I'd just tell my sales guy to get me one for the price I'd be paying ✔️

Or I'm sure iND can obtain them.

Exactly...

But I can tell you, I got into my GTS at the welt looked at my delivery specialist and the first thing out of my mouth was, where is my fire extinguisher?

After that was are you kidding me it doesn't have comfort access?

Like how much does that weigh? 🙄

I know these are serious first world issues, but, you have to dig into your pocket to get the fob, and then you put it back in your pocket b/c you don't need it to start the car etc...and there are no door binnacles and no armrest binnacle, so the only storage are the cupholders and I guess the glove box... and I had stuff in my cupholders....and then you do your thing, and you go to get out if the car, and you have to dig back into your pocket to find the key....which gets old fast....especially when you've locked the car, and put the key back in your pocket, and then go to dig something out of the trunk and boom you need to find the key again.

There are also full parking sensors...but we all backed into spots to preserve the front splitter....and there is no back up camera, which could be useful as the visibility with the wing, cage etc etc is compromised

-I guess I'm a victim of training, like probably everyone on the board here, we all have one or more beemers....so I'm completely conditioned for comfort access.

That's strange, all the NA press-release and NA demo cars specifically mentioned/featured the cage and fire extinguisher, what was their excuse?

Comfort access is something I've gotten use to and it's strange to think given how much comes standard with the car (NAV/Radio/etc) that they didn't include that and the backup camera. I still don't know what the deal is with the extinguisher since it's in every bit of literature I've received.

I also have to say I find it odd that the M4 GTS didn't have a delete option for all these luxury items ala the 911R or the GT350R for those people who really wanted to make it as pure as possible.

What I have heard is that our good old friends at DOT wanted to re-crash test the car with the fire extinguisher installed. Guess what BMW said.....

Also, the holes for the fire extinguisher have been plugged.
