Thanks for the pics -- I've been wondering what the "Ambient Lighting" feature looked like. Now I know -- it's COOL!
One thing I can't seem to get past is the price you guys have to pay for the car. In the PDF you attached it shows $A157,000. That's around $145,000 US! We're speculating that the car will start stateside at around $60K US. How does BMW justify more than double the price for Australia? Seems like an extreme "early adopter" tax. I'm betting once the volume increases, the price will come down significantly.
I'll wager that's why North America is the last market to receive the car. We're the largest market by volume, so they'll introduce it here (last) at a significantly lower price as compared to ROW. Coming to North America last will have given them a full year to squeeze as much "early adopter" revenue out of the new car as possible.
