Did you guys go manual or dct cheers

[domino_z]

I went regular brochure colour/trim spec with dct

If it was an individual color I'd understand a delayed build, though even those 4 or 5 brochure individual colours aren't the full on pull off the production line individual builds anyway

domino_z - They gave me a rough indication a week after I placed the order, although it's not a confirmed build as I don't have a VIN or anything yet. I'm led to believe it's an early October build, because they think it'll still be here for Christmas. That being said, if it's that close, I'm going to hold off on registration till January, as it'll help with resale.

Mark3 - I went with DCT - Mineral Grey. There was an individual colour which I really liked - I can't remember the name, but it was a like a light gunmetal with a blue/green through it - looked excellent. But was a 6+ month wait if I wanted individual, so decided against it.

Mark3 - I picked up my SS II with SO interior two evenings ago. Car is two days old. It is the competition pack with cf roof and DCT. It is an exhilarating car to drive....fast.👍👍

[bloke79]

Mark3 - Comp pack, DCT, no sunroof.

Hi Mark3,

I went with individual paint, comp pack, DCT, no sunroof. No VIN assigned yet .....

[RETRO R/C]

Hi guys,

My M3 is on the boat now.

CP, carbon roof, individual paint and interior, heated rear sets, parking assist, rear window shade etc.

I can confirm that all M3's built from the 01st of July have i5.

I have a pic of the spread of dates for different models somewhere - will add it when I find it.

Cheers

Darryn

Jealous.... I just got told I'm build week 46, so my car's not going to be here before christmas.

[domino_z]

got a vin for my car, it's already gone into production - not bad considering i put my order in only a couple weeks ago - aw on ss, sunroof, cp, all options except ceramics (as much as i love them on my other cars, the washing maintenance mainly, i've read far too many comments of them being noisy on this platform)

eta mid nov

the parts are starting to pile up in anticipation

How did you get a VIN so quick ? I ordered mine back in late July and I still haven't been assigned a VIN. I've just received a build number so apparently that means it's in production but the VIN hasn't been assigned yet.

save your money, there is nothing that idrive cant do thats in carplay.
also the nav is better than apple maps haha.

you can still do the siri messaging in idrive. in fact i cant think on anything that you can do in car play that isnt already integrated into idrive

[domino_z]

yeh i went off carplay when i realised that play icon isn't actually youtube

but there is a browser in idrive that i'm sure can access youtube.....

unfortunately not, the browser does not support flash so no videos at all

i was told by bmw that they were going to stop including/doing that soon as no one ever renews the internet subscription.

[domino_z]

ahh crap, anyone do a cleanly integrated phone mirroring product?

ie; one that i don't have to rip half the dash apart to get behind the screen, maybe using a hdmi converted > rca cables into usb port

[brownb_2]

not that i know of,

bimmertech do some cool things, they have a apple tv one now
but its as you said, rip apart your dash

I tried to renew but couldn't so I emailed BMW. They said BMW HQ decided to stop this service (internet browsing) because of it's "limited functionality."

Re: iPhone 7 (or iOS 10?) Compatibility Problems
I read somewhere that iPhone 7 is not compatible with existing iDrive systems so I imagine Apple CarPlay is a good option to tick if you have the choice.
