.....and Hello 08 550///MSport ! I handed back the keys to my "problem car " and ordered a new one today . Due to the circumstances of being "Assisted by BMW Canada" I had to stick close to the original spec , especially color, but I did add a few goodies that I've learned I should have had the first time. ( thanks mostly to the fine group of members here !! ) I've included the total profile list in my signature but the new items were , HUD , Navigation, USB adaptor. I was not able to get the Aluminum Cube interior trim and opted for the Dark Bamboo............. I'm happy to be moving forward and will have to wait till early April for delivery. It will be interesting to own the pre LCI and LCI back to back and see what differences I notice. I certainly love the new head and tail lights ........... not big on front fender reflectors.

Thanks for the kind words and support !!...................... Let the waiting begin.

Cheers

PS despite ordering the Tech Package the lane departure is deleted with the addition of the Sport auto w paddles (is this just a Canadian thing ?? )

thats EXCELLENT news!

i've been following your other thread and im glad everything worked out to your benefit even tho you might consider it a small setback now. you even got some nice upgrades this time around so im sure you'll be happy once it arrives and the keys are in your hands. enjoy and write up a report on what the differences are between the pre-LCI and LCI


enjoy man!
