Anyone in Canada can tell me If you can lower the car if you choose the 2-axle air suspension with M-Sport Package? Is if only for the X-off road package?
I heard some people say that you can adjust the ride height by selecting Sport Mode, instead of using a selector gauge on the side of the shifter (off road package exclusive?) |

Height doesn't change when driving mode changes to sport or sport+. At stock height the lever to adjust height is in the middle. There are two higher levels and two lower levels. At normal city speeds while driving you can change from middle to one click lower level and back. At high speeds like on freeways, only middle level can be used which is stock height. It will not allow you to change to any other height. The highest height is for moving slowly over large obstacles. The lowest level is for getting in and out of the car easier and accessing the trunk easier. If you start driving when the car is at a height not meant for driving, it will a automatically switch to the middle level. Here are pics of the different heights. This cup cooler almost turned the drink into ice. These are the winters I got 20" GTSWHEELS G508 Oh ya, I'm joking about the cup cooler. |

My Dealership said that it only comes with the off road package. I hope that's not true. |

And this car is so new they probably don't even have one with off road package to test themselves. Air suspension comes with the lever to change height. Off road package might come with a different button or lever. I think it might have something to do with if the wheels can spin independently or you can lock the axel so they spin together. |

Height can be adjusted two levels higher and two levels lower with the lever from middle height. Only middle and one level lower can be driven at normal and high speeds. At normal speeds not exceeding a certain undetermined speed, you can switch between middle and one click lower while the car is driving. If you go above a certain speed you cannot adjust the height until you slow down to a certain speed. At a stop you can use all heights and then move slowly. If you drive too fast the height will automatically change to middle height if it's in a height that is not useable for driving at normal speeds. |

Hello and Happy New Year, I'm getting my G05 tomorrow, it is 45 mth lease and I need your help to decide on 2 items (if I should add or not?)
1- lease end protection $1600 2- rims and tires protection $1700 My config is excellence pkg with m sport and 22" m742. I'm greeting after market winter tires. I had 36mth X5 lease before and was able to return it without any additional charges, so I believe I will be able to do the same with the G05 unless bmw changes their lease return policy somehow! |

The dealer's sales pitch on the tire and rim protection is that one broken rim and destroyed tire will basically pay for the warranty, but that just tells you how few claims must actually be made. They only sell it because it makes them money.

From my past experience having leases, I've noticed once you hit the 36-39 month mark driving around 20km a year, is when you'll be replacing tires. (Assuming using winters 3-4 months out of the year) I returned my F15 this past summer with really, really bald tires. If I didn't have the excess wear-tear protection, I would of had to spend probably $800-1000 on used tires. Since I had it, I just returned it as-is. So from that perspective I'm still out a few hundred.
If you plan on buying another car when you return it, I don't think they will give you much of a hassle anyhow. It's a toss-up. But I also hate the fact BMW is holding $1600 of my money for 3-4 years as security deposit. If you don't plan on keeping your lease the full term, I would get it as anyone looking to assume a lease always asks if you have that protection. For rim and tire, damaging the tire first year, you are covered by the manufacturers road-hazard warranty. For the rim, which I have never damaged, would be a different story. I'm still contemplating myself if I should get it or not.

I only opted to get the rim and tire protection because it was offered to me for half the price. The tires and 22" are expensive and they can be easily replaced if you puncture them or damage the rim. However, I would not have paid retail $1700.

I just noticed that there is a Canadian $1,500 loyalty incentive from January 1 - January 31st. I think I'll have them place the order on Jan 31st. I wanted to push this out so we take delivery in the nicer weather (end of April). I guess end of March is ok.

I would take the information about the Safeguard product with a grain of salt. Similar to how extended warranties from a car manufacturers is usually always better than third party, I would use the same analogy for protection packages. The Tire and Rim Package from BMW has clear defined wording of coverage. Walk into any BMW dealership and make the claim, no need to mess with a third party company, easy. I know a couple of folks who has no trouble getting new tires and rims from damages they incurred. Same for lease end coverage. The lease end coverage was $1599 (Excess Wear & Use protection), which waived the $1300 security deposit I would have had to pay. This protection also covers the tire and rims upon lease return. That is, you can return the vehicle with bald tires and curb rashes on the rims, which is bound to happen. I believe there is information on the BMW Canada website somewhere on what constitutes an acceptable damages and what does not. The Tire and Rim protection for 45 months was $900; you can try to negotiate this. I've attached a printout of what my dealer provided me about this protection.

I know that I am getting a 0.75% reduction in rate for being an existing customer. Is the $1,500 in addition to the rate reduction or can you choose? Do you know?

Got a reply, it's either $1500 or the .75%. I guess we'll wait.

Ok, that makes more sense as I didn't see anything on the website. Thanks for letting us know.
