Miscellaneous Questions and Advice Requested prior to placing order
I apologize for any redundancy in these questions, but I am relatively new to this forum and am not as well-versed in the pricing guide as you all are! I have tried to search through old posts, but still have some questions and would love your help before I place my order:
- Any consensus on the difference between ZDB and ZDY in regard to “Extended traffic jam assistant for limited access highways” versus the regular “Steering & Traffic Jam Assistant” that comes with 5AU (active driving assistant pro)? Is this a potential software upgrade you can get later? - Can Integral Active Steering (2VH) be added as an option for the 40i with M sport package or is this also excluded like DHP is? - Does it make sense to get the space saver spare (300) option with the default 20” all-season run flat tires style 740M tires with M sport? - Are M sport brakes (2NH) just an aesthetic option or is there a functional benefit? - Are electronic side window shades ever going to be an option? - Is there a rear shade at all? (standard or optional?) - Does the standard 4FL (travel and comfort system) mean it comes standard with the hook/adapter for accessories such as rear entertainment center, coat hanger, etc? Can the entertainment system be added later instead of waiting until December for it? - Is the luggage compartment package just the automatic closing cover and non slip bumps, or is there more to it with more accessories or more luggage space? - Are any AC adapters included in the vehicle? - One of the videos showed plastic parts on the inside of the doors…was that in xline or the M sport? How can this be avoided?? - For someone who’s not super particular about surround sound or music but does like to jam in the car from time to time, is the HW system recommended over the standard BMW sound system? Is the standard sound system really that bad? THANKS!! |

Here's my $0.02 on a few of them.
- Can Integral Active Steering (2VH) be added as an option for the 40i with M sport package or is this also excluded like DHP is? Looks like no per the ordering guide. Lots of complaining about this on this forum. - Does it make sense to get the space saver spare (300) option with the default 20” all-season run flat tires style 740M tires with M sport? Unless you're worried about weight for track day (probably not with an X5 :P) or you need the 3rd row, why would you not want a spare? I had a runflat get a hole I could put my hand into on my e70. If I hadn't had a spare I would have been waiting for a tow truck. - Are electronic side window shades ever going to be an option? I doubt it considering how the mechanism works. Not sure how it would work with a window that can go up and down. Hence only power rear on all others. - Is there a rear shade at all? (standard or optional?) I don't believe so. Never has been before. - Are M sport brakes (2NH) just an aesthetic option or is there a functional benefit? Larger, fade slower (allegedly). Last edited by TK421BMW; 08-24-2018 at 08:15 AM.. |

Do you mean like a standard 110/120V outlet? No. I don't believe so. Quote:
From what I've read, the general consensus among BMW owners is that the HK system is generally much better than stock. We ordered it on ours, for the price I think it is probably worth it. The super high end diamond system is a LOT of cash for audio...more than we were willing to spend. Some say its worth it on other models, but seems like many say it's not. Although the LEDs in the speakers are kinda fun.
