i had a hard time deciding on the wheels. The 172 style was cheaper and it was availebel. They sell that 19 inch wheel now. But as the pics i found online where not clear i thought it was a risk. The 1O1 wheel i know a bit from style. Its a classic so i went for the sure thing.

Great Car - I hope you enjoy it!
What are these options --- ?
0540 speed button
0843 reduced power euro specs belgium
Please post pictures of the 101 wheels if you have them - I saw a new 535d M Sport last week that had some great looking wheels. They looked bigger and deeper than the standard "Sport" wheels. Unfortunately the car was rolling so I could not get a good look but they really looked nice

for tax reasons bmw belgium limits the power a bit so it in a lower tax scale. It safe us customers a bundle of money. I think more then 2OOO euro but not sure on the exact amount of savings. Later if you wish you can put the power higher again but you loose waranty so that not for the imiate future.
Speed controle is like cruise controle i think but its not active.
