I have just changed my order from Deep Sea Blue to Carbon Black on the basis that elsewhere in this forum the description of this colour sounds very attractive.
I have resigned myself to the fact that the USB interface will be positioned in this stupid location and that I will have a cable sticking out from the back of my central console which is disappointing but I want to have the full Ipod integration plus it allows me to charge my mobile.
I am currently involved in a conversation with BMW which is becoming more and more dificult. I have ordered the luxury pack n the basis that I get the extended advanced air conditioning and to date nobody can confirm that post-LCI this will still be the case. BMW keep telling me that airconditioning is standard in all cars and that therefore it is not included in the pack. I keep trying to make clear to them that it is the "extended" air conditioning I am after. If anybody else knows the answer I would appreciate if they could let me know.

- I am wondering myself if going for the MOST iPod connector in the glovebox would be better than the stupid USB connector...
- The pdf referenced says that every UK model except for the 520d will get extended AirCon as standard (even without the luxury pack). Of course you really need to get them to confirm that.

Is this 'extended' aircon the same as 'Automatic Air Con - Advanced' as it's currently described?
"Air conditioning, automatic with extended features: functions enhanced with one-touch pre- programmed functions"
Also, the option code (534) is mentioned on page 25 and this is the correct code for "Automatic-Advanced' today

Thanks,
I was given carbon black as an option but with the way my luck is going with this car you're probably right.
I am getting very frustrated. I do not want a black one. he carbon black seems to have a hint of blue in it which is what attracted me to it.

It has been comfirmed now. Carbon Black is nt available for the SE edition, only the Sports edition.
However, BMW have now said that Monaco Blue, Deep Green and Barbera Red are all still available. If that's the case I'll opt for the Deep Green.
If anyone has spoken to a delaer who has confirmed that those colour are still an option or if anyone know this to be incorrect, please post a reply.

I checked with the dealer yesterday when I ordered an LCI 530d Sport and he confirmed that the A/C (534) is now the same as the advanced model originally fitted to the 535d and optional on all the rest of the pre-LCI cars.

I wonder if dealers will now reduce their delivery fee now that the mats are included in the pre-delivery price?
Fat chance...

Floor mats have been part of the delivery package here for a while now (you have to pay handsomely for 'delivery' anyway)
