But when it's said and done, it pisses me off that comfort access is a $1000 option on the 5 series and only $500 on the 3 series. That's just plain gouging. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to skip that option all together!

Based on the number of doors for the CA system, 2 v. 4 with the 5er. Not gouging when viewed through this lens.

Go to the LA Auto Show starting Friday(16th), the 135i is making its US debut. You can see it up close, side by side with the 128i. I know I will be going to check it out.

Excellent! Ya I'm going for sure. Already have my tickets for it.

Except that it's $500 on the 3-series sedan as well as the coupe. It's just a transmitter and doesn't really matter how many doors. They are just doubling the price because they think/know people buying the 5-series will pay it.
