Initial reports came out as retractable washers.

I don't see much point to the headlight washers. I'm going to get just the heated seats so I won't have them.

I wonder if the reflectors are easy to pop out? On the AW cars they're going to look awfully ugly. I don't want a hole on the sides of my bumpers but I'd like to swap out the yellow for white reflectors.

Thanks a lot for the great reviews and eclectic photos ("huge gloves" )
On the dial, IMO the speedo is the biggest liar: 330 km/h (200 mph). Not even close (delimited) and what, 180s not. Tres ambitious. Good model shots too

Are the headlight washers really an option in the U.S.? They are standard on European cars definitely because by law if a car has Xenon headlights then they have to also have headlight washers, and as Xenons are standard on the M3, urgo cognito sum, the headlight washers must be standard too.

Thank you for posting all the pictures.
You forgot to open the glove box and steal the BMW flashlight.

Having seen it IRL, I'm curious to hear your impression of the silver ext. leather in the coupe? How do you think it fairs vs. the black leather option? Is it too much silver w/ SSII? This was a potential option for me... TIA. P.S. Thanks for sharing the great variety of pics!

Great pics, and of my favorite color. Thank you very much !
I'm also interested in your impressions of the silver interior. I wanted it but after seeing the pics, it looks kind of dull... I might just go with traditional Silver/Black. What will you be choosing for your sedan? Thanks again..... |

I am getting an Interlagos Blue car and right now I'm actually leaning toward Speed Cloth which is black leather with dark cloth seating surfaces. If I do decide get leather it would be black almost for sure, with an outside chance at Fox Red. I know the latter will raise eyebrows, given it would be with Interlagos, but I think the darker red might actually look good against the blue. Most will probably disagree with that. |

I bet you're right! It will be the first mod I would consider - those reflectors are an eyesore.

does anybody know if there is a good automotive reason to make a hole for the reflector? what i'm getting at is, why did bmw choose to do it this way instead of just sticking it on there?

Just got back from the NAIAS. That hole is big; full shape of the reflector.
