Hey Wes,

…Branko’s question on parking and the back-up camera can be expanded to one of overall rear visibility: a lot of people have been concerned that the rear window is mostly useless. Can you comment on rear visibility? During normal driving, do you get a good view of cars coming up behind you? What about rearward blind spots; are the small rear side windows worth anything?

I’d also appreciate any input on the leather dash option. It seems to really class up the interior, but is it that much improved over the standard BMW dash construction? Is there any news on availability of the option? (most information now just says ‘delayed availability’). Finally, what’s the word on longevity of leather as a dash covering material? Does it take a lot of extra care and maintenance? Is it likely to fade at all??

Hope I caught you early enough – being on the west coast of the US puts me way behind you guys – you might be doing laps as I type… if so, I hope you have a big grin on your face!!!

Cheers,
Appreciate 0
