Here's a inside pic of my new F10 to be.

Check the left air intake, it has some chrome on the edges.
The chrome comes only with the extended 2-zone or 4-zone AC's.

Please also note that the chrome door handles outside the car needs
the Ambient Light option.

Are you absolutely sure about the chrome inlays in the external door handles?
I was told that you have to add "comfort access" to get it.

Must be a Nordic market thing. In Poland the chrome handles are standard (also according to the brochure). I haven't seen an F10 without them.

I have the bluetooth option and today found out that as a bonus I have voice control too even though I didn't specify it. It only speaks German and now I'm wondering whether changing the language is as difficult as it was in the E60. Practically never used it anyway.

I'll check for the chrome on the air vents. I have regular climate control and I don't think I have the chrome.

The new car smell is still very intense, not very pleasant and is giving me headaches.

Yes, I'm now. My dealer sent me an excuse about it.

It's an BMW Nordic mistake and I will have them to pay...

I'm so pissed!

The Ambient Light (with the chrome handles) costs "only" 370 ?
over here but the unnecessary Comfort Go costs some 1,000 ? more.

And as you said the BMW Nordic tells you to order them both,
but that is not the truth!

Overkill sales! -> Lawsuit?
