Not only that.... it doesnt come with a subwoofer either..
-PDC isnt standard. My boyfriends brother has a 2008ish Nissan Titan that has pdc and bluetooth.
-1995 Toyota camry's have rear folding seats. (another bmw option that cost you)
These two things really piss me off about BMW. Having to pay extra to add these two options is a joke. I really wanted a LCI 535 or a 335i coupe. The longer I keep my current car the less I want a bmw ever again.

You're really lucky being a BMW customer in the states, because BMW really cares about you. They don't care about the rest of us.

Merc and Porsche are much worse when it comes to what is standard, and how they group option in packages. Try pricing out a Porsche. By the the time you add in all the things you expected to get on an $80,000 (like full leather seats), you looking at another $20,000.
