When you find good ones ... treat them with kindness! It helps - esp any time some wiggle room is needed on a warranty or service claim!

Well, my new car was delivered yesterday -- Dark Graphite Metallic, Black Nappa interior, M-Sport and loaded....LOVE the car, enhancements over my 2008 535xi (I do miss the stick), but was VERY disappointed when I found out that this car has the OLD iPod adapter -- Y-cable!!!! In fact, the car didn't come with the adapter cable, and I had to take it from my old 535 and the dealer told me they were back-ordered. WTF???
I guess I don't understand -- the car was ordered on October 23rd and was completed production November 10th, so why did I get the old adapter??? From the BMW memo posted in this forum:
"iPod/USB Adapter
· iPod One-wire integration: The iPod connection no longer requires the ?Y-cable? for separate aux-input for sound. The iPod USB cable supplied with the iPod is all that is required to connect the device to the vehicle. The music is transferred directly from the iPod digitally to the sound system via the USB connection.· Album Cover Art: If cover art is contained in the metadata of a particular song, it will show on the vehicle display while the song is played.· Voice Control of Devices: The driver can control external devices and select genre, artist, album, and song title with the voice control system included with Navigation System."
It's amazing how such a small thing can change what should have been a great day to one where I felt less than thrilled.
