I just heard from JD @ Crown wrt covers...
It seems that the beige covers turned up complete with sockets and plugs, as Calvino had received, while the gray and black ones did not (i.e. just the cover, plugs and sockets an optional $46 value option?). Its a suspected production run discrepancy (i.e. possibly Calvino and other beige interior owners lucked out
). Part numbers and prices remain correct.
Now JD has been on the horn with BMW Technical and BMW AG and they insisted (as well) that the gray and black ones should come complete with sockets and plugs
To cut a long story short, JD is in the midst of sorting this issue out to ensure that the ordered parts (by us) will come with the appropriate 12V sockets and plugs (just as Calvino had received) so that we don't have to pay extra (we can't have Calvino have all the fun now, can we?
)
Again, much credit to JD and the Crown team for looking out for us
and our wallets
Thanks for the update and communication.
