So does that mean that HK is standard and they've introduced a "better" upgraded audio option? Or is it just making HK the one and only choice? Nice to have that included now.....and if they have an even better upscale option, well that's just fantastic

Also curious to see if they bring in a new top level audio option. What they really need to do is upgrade the whole 3 series line to include comfort access to all four doors. Just the front is silly and cheap of BMW.

So really all I'm losing out of now with exec. is heated steering wheel. Looks like I'm wearing gloves in the winter!

The only things I wanted from the Exec Package were keyless entry and sat radio, which is why I didn't get the package. Really nice that those two things are now standard. This is the only thing that I wish my '15 had. Could care less about the rear lights, iDrive update and chrome accents (that I'm glad I don't have).

That's what I wanted to but I wanted them badly enough to order the package. Also it either covers partial leather or brings a discount towards full leather.

A new better sound system is definitely something I would go for more than lights, patiently waiting for more details. Hopefully it is a system I can update to if in fact there is a better option now. Thanks for the details. |

Looks like I need to try my hardest for a MY15. I absolutely do NOT want comfort access. I HATE things in my pocket and my wallet and cell phone go in the cup holders. No easy place to put a key now too....ugh

Even if you didn't want comfort access all the cars now don't have key slots anymore to start the engines. Only the X1 I think still does..

If you noticed, the cupholders are fundamentaly the same as pre-LCI. What changed was eliminating the forward storage bin/12V outlet so the LCI sliding cover can slide forward. So only the top trim of the center console changed. |

In fact, I would suppose that, like the IDrive update, other interior changes included in the 3 Series LCI will propagate not just to the M3, but to the 4 Series and M4 as well. Things like the chrome accents on vents and knobs apply to parts shared across all of these cars, so it only makes sense. |
