Funny.
In the article they don't mention SVDO.


Anyways, check BugMeNot.com for log-ins o read the article...

 

It states 5/6 series only??? I was under the impression it was 7 series only?

 

The MY07 550 will have in in March production. I have it on order.

 

Do you guys think that there are any possibilities of the M6 having it when it arrives this may?

 

Do you see it as an option on the M6 order sheet. If its not on the order sheet, I doubt it. Maybe just for MY07?

I saw the M6 at the Chicago auto show last Saturday. Nice car. It was behind ropes so people could not get in it but they had an M5 out on the floor that was available to sit in.

 

No, unfortunately it wasnt. But i was really hoping somehow it may become available. I will be going to the toronto auto show this thursday, hopefully i can have a look inside the M6, would be really nice.

 

Im sure at the Chicago show if you pulled one of the 20 salespeople over and told them you had one on order that they would let you sit in it. They had reps from BMWNA at the chicago show but they were from the service side and didn't know a thing about pricing or anything of interest. So I pulled him aside and asked him what the story was on all the transmission slam issues. I could tell he was aware of it but wouldn't day anything.

If they are installing Night Vision in cars in March you would think they could do the 06 M6 in May.

 

will this option be available to retrofit on an 06 550?

 

Good question. I know the camera mounts in the lower front grill and has a heater and a spritzer to keep it clean in winter. I believe the option requires you get the cold weather package and Navagation. Price for 07's is $2,200. A memo came out from BMW saying they now won't put it on MY 07 produced in March due to some issues with it. My cars production starts first week of April so im hoping the issue gets ironed out in time for inclusion in my 550.
