Thank you for the reply, you just confirmed my thought about this. I already asked my dealer to remove the LDW from my build and make sure that my vehicle will have the paddles. It also saves me $950
The LDW would be more useful for my wife, and not for myself anyway.
It appears that BMW added some of the new features to LCI E70, without significant re-design of the components. I really don't understand why those two functions can't co-exist. In any case, I'm so anxious to get the new vehicle. Thank again.
