Agreed

Same idea with the idea that adding a trailer hitch takes away the ability to open the trunk with foot movement. It may seem obvious in hindsight (I actually knew this before purchasing) but there is really no disclosure about this and others have been disappointed to learn it's missing. Same thing with understanding where ACC is included or not. All things I've seen others confused by, in these forums.

I did way more homework than your average buyer does and I'm still tripping over unexpected additions or omissions depending on the options and packages you ordered.

I agree, the options and changes should be outlined in a more concise manner. I think the ACC not being standard is rather normal for BMW. I don't think any of their current models have it standard in the US. It's good to do research beforehand, even then you may not conclusively know for new vehicles. Hell, most CA's still don't know what options do what...

The laser headlights are part of the Executive tier options which also includes:
Remote Engine Start

Soft-close automatic doors

Heated and Cooled Cupholders

Rear manual side window shades

Icon Adaptive LED Headlights with Laserlight


So the upgrade has some meaningful additions for the $2k difference.

Its all personal preference. If money wasn't a factor, i would choose every option. But then you are over 100k. For 100k, I would get the Cayenne S. Not the BMW. For me, the executive tier options are worth $300 in total, not $2k. So, I decided not to get them. I did choose the M sport package, Merino leather and other options that I valued. Isn't freedom great? We could all be in China.....

I don't blame you at all! I considered the Cayenne but would need to sacrifice a lot of options even at $100k. Mine is close to that mark and I didn't include about $6k in options (rear seat entertainment, NV, 22's) so the price rises very fast...
