If you trim the height of the images that are rotated by 100px they'll display correctly in the forums.

Looks great Thanos - mines too has arrived at the dealer (6 Jan) - should be getting it next week.

Like the coffee merino and piano black trims - I'm biased on that as it's what I'm getting. I was too tight to get the screens but they'll be ideal for travellers in the back - chauffeured in style!

Very well spec'd- enjoy!

Thanks Paul!
Screens are a nice feature IMO , but the car is the important thing! Wish you to enjoy your rides!����

Power Cup holders, acoustic glass, night vision, soft close doors among others.

Things I would have wanted are night vision, acoustic glass and power cup holders

Sorry to hear this.IMO since we are the customers who pay, must have the ability to configure the car according to our needs.this is a mistake from BMW USA.

Since the OP has optioned full leather coffee Merino, it's probably why BMW included it - but it still doesn't excuse them for removing it for MY21 owners with extended Merino.

I have integral active steering en I really like it. It makes the car turn shorter on parking lots and roundabouts. I don't have a strange unnatural feeling that some others report.

DAP works well in city traffic but it depends on the city and drivers around you. In a single lane it is perfect. It might be just a bit slower than you would react yourself. I can imagine in busy multi lane roads other drivers will try to get in the free space your car is temporarily leaving for a few second. Same happens on highways. It keeps a safe distance that for some others is big enough to squeeze their car in.

The lane keeping function depends on the markings but in city traffic it can also follow the car in front of you.

Lasers light look nice and function well on dark roads.

I have all of the above. Night vision has warned me about dogs, humans, hares and a tractor (it thought it was a deer). I haven't tested it in the reindeer husbandry area yet, but I expect it to be useful there. I wish you could make it warn you about all warm objects, though.

Driving assistant pro - haven't been able to use it too much yet, the roads are snowy and the car no longer recognizes the lanes.

Laser lights - not worth the money if you're looking for more light on the road. Better get a decent LED bar which is cheaper and produces much more light.

Active rear wheel steering - I guess it's useful, it isn't so obvious that it's even working..

I guess it depends a lot of where you live.

I don't think he will encounter many reindeer in Guatemala 😂. Unless the country is wrong because the name sounds kind of Scandinavian. And I agree night vision can be really useful when driving around dark forest with lots of game.

Your needs in Finland for lightning the road are different than in other European countries. A led bar would be kind of silly in Belgium.

Given the question about the driving assitant in city traffic I would think the amount of game he will encouter would be rather low.
The use of the driving assistant in city traffic is rather limited in my opinion, on big city ringways or longer avenues it could work, but smaller streets is pretty much DIY.

On the other hand, the rear wheel steering is a big difference, especially in city streets and when parking the car, I highly recommend it. (especially in europe where parking spaces are fairly small and more catered to mini's and golfs than to big SUV's)

Good luck choosing.
