I think there is a slot that acceps a change holder, the the center console, but I don't know
Dosen't your warning go away after 5-6 seconds? Mine does. Dosen't bother me at all!
Agreed...since by the time I get my seatbelt on and my applicable passengers are in the car...the warning is gone

Having ordered but not received I would like BMW to be more honest with their customers about what is available and what isn't. The amount of confliciting information we've gone through is inexcusable. This board has been far more informative than BMW.

As to the car, I would really like to see more exterior color choices- particularly a light blue metallic or an arena red. Hub changes (even as an option) that would allow my old x wheels to fit would be nice- a particularly greedy and unnecessary move by BMW IMO.

Anyone else have opinions on this topic? Based on the results so far, it appears the majority of voters do not like the black plastic bumpers very much.

If you haven't already posted, please do. When completed, I will summarize the results and forward to BMWNA.

THANKS FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION

Add those plastic bumpers and fenders to that cheesey hood and it's part of the reason I'm keeping mine.

What the hell is with the damn button. I like turning the key. Why fix something that isn't broken. Now I could understand if the start button only came with comfort access.

Better camera resolution would always be nice but...... This is just so you can spot large items and people as your backing... you do not need to read bumper stickers.
