And the BS about "We're listening" is just that BS since if they were listening they could change it tomorrow. Don't say it can't be done cause that's a lie. No reason why CA can not be a stand alone option.

BMW already does it for the ROW.

IDK if it's something to do with the US dollar (or the 'low' base price in the US) BMW wants to make money so they are charging US for metalic paint (I believe it's no-cost in UK) and won't offer CA without technology package.

The other point is heated seats is a stand alone option, so what's the big deal with CA? I mean if they charge $500 it's going to be sold to some (who don't like/want i-drive technology package).
I'm not that upset about CA, I'm bugged by the fact that ROW gets M drive standard without having to get EDC and the tech package.
