Guys, the link isn't working...

I am still looking forward to find out the "standard" features that come with the F10 on different models ... it is my understanding that the "standard" features offered by BMWHK usually include some of the "option" features listed in the catalog.

... Anyway, won't hurt if the link actually works! Guys!!

The link work on my side

I am sure BMW will put all the options in and charging sky high price, this is their strategy and will not change.
When i looked into Z4 catalog, most things are optional extras, but BMW HK put everything onto the list and wants 700K for a 2 seaters.

Well, I am working on that, see if I can get a way out of the tax part... it is usually this part of the price that kills...

I asked about this a few years back.
BMW say they will always put most of the options in for HK because 80% of the market that buys there car what more stuff in them and don't like it plain and standard.
Also these few year other car maker also has them in and alot cheaper eg VW CC. so they have to put the options in.
I hate the idea that the force you to buy the option that you don't what.
