Hey Guys,

Have been reading a lot in the G05 forums lately, usually I was reading the F15 forums (I have an F15 M50d). Especially the threat about extended and full leather was very usefull! I'm building my next car. Have been in doubt about the 45e vs M50i a lot. I love the M50i engine but the tax on such a car in my country is really killing the deal. (50k euro additionally). That is such an amount for just 2 extra cilinders, I've decided to build my car based on the 45e engine. I have a lot of short trips (within 15 km, and without highway) which should all be feasible on full electric mode. I've written out all the options since that is different per country/region.

Separate order: 1PA 22" Styling 742M rims with summer tyres because of 3AC (electric hitch) 22" is not allowed (to much pressue on the tires with full weight trailer behind it). But I use my hitch only for a bike rack. In case of a big load, I'll change to 20" rims.

Options I'm in doubt about:

4FL vs 6FH. (Travel & Comfort vs Rear Seat Entertainment) I know that 4FL will save some money when buying some ipads. But the 6FH system is fixed in the car which is more convenient. I don't have to worry about theft of forgetting them. I have the RSE in my current F15 as well, and it's fine, kids are loving it. But they are still young, so they probably want more as they grow older. The ipads are more flexible in that case. Hook them up to the hotspot and watch whatever is online. But kids are in booster/child seats for some years, so if they drop it, someone has to pick it up.

6U8 - Gesture control: I'm not sure I need this or will use it. It feels a bit like a gadget you want to show your family/collegues, not something you use on a regular base.
6C4 - Connected package pro II: What is it, what does it do?
6DR - BMW Drive recorder: Is this a software or hardware feature? In other words, can I activate it myself (esys)?
I've also been in doubt about Tansanitblau II and Mineral Weiss. The blue seems so dark.
5AZ - I've thought about lasers, but it's only high beam. I hardly ever use it. So it's just optics. It looks nice, but it also feels a bit like, look at me with my star wars lasers thing...

Looking forward to your remarks/comments!
