I just wish I could get some of the ZEC options but delete the headlight washers. Leave 'em off! Who invented these ridiculous things? Is this some European requirement from years past that legislated these be offered?
I think BMW is playing a balancing game of trying to group options together at a price point where most will be resigned to checking the box, as it includes essential features not offered otherwise. With both the F10 and F80 ZEC, they are infuriating enough people with their groupings that people are starting to forgo some options that are almost required at this point. It really isn't a bargain, like perhaps the 320i sport package, which is a downright steal. If you add up the elements of F80 ZEC, you aren't saving much money, and being coerced into getting things you'd never want.
