Nice. Is the msport an option there or did you add the m stuff?

Man I want that dct and shifter.

Bimmer325 · 12-07-2008, 06:29 AM

looking good...pal, does DCT means -/+ shifter on your steering?

vod74 · 12-07-2008, 06:30 AM

the m-sport is an option it includes:
navi
m-suspension
m logo at the doors
the sideskirts
read and front bumpers
steering wheel
sport leather seats
shadowline trim
black ceiling

Prowess Symphony · 12-07-2008, 06:33 AM

What you got a black headliner!?!?!? And DCT. *jealous*

What! Why does your nav have a 3d view like that. Mine doesnt even come close to looking like that, but maybe my city isnt popular enough.

Bimmer325, DCT is BMW's dual clutch transmission. Not yet available in the USA except on the m

that's the new idrive in perspective mode, you live in maryland near DC? if you go into DC i bet all the buildings (white house, capitol etc) will come up in perspective mode.

Goes to show ya how much better-equipped Euro cars are in comparison to the ones allotted to the US market.

lkn · 12-07-2008, 06:42 AM

the 3D navigation is beautiful as always in Europe.

Prowess Symphony · 12-07-2008, 06:43 AM

Whats the button right below the shifter?

It probably adjusts transmission behavior, shift aggression, and throttle response. If you leave the DCT in auto I'm sure it'll hold RPMs longer, while downshifting more aggressively. If you put it in sport I assume the shifts will be more in-line with what the S4-S5 modes are like with the M-DCT.

Same as DS on steptronic I guess.

Nice car!

I'm actually headed to Paris on the 26th, can't wait to see that city!

remmib · 12-07-2008, 09:22 AM

Congrats, looks great.

The 3D navi of the Eiffel tower looks awesome.

HiHoAg · 12-07-2008, 09:36 AM

Looks awesome!!! Sooo jealous. Why does BMW do this to Americans? Most of us are not that bad...really.

veightkiller · 12-07-2008, 09:39 AM

congrats on the new ride

jjbirch · 12-07-2008, 09:40 AM

great car loving the nav

mtechnik3 · 12-07-2008, 09:45 AM

Wow, she's beautiful. Lovin the iDrive screen. Congrats!! I'd love to order exactly what you have for my next one.

I wish NA spec cars had an m-sport option. I'm glad they brought over shadowline exterior trim at least. Jealous of you EU owners!
