We don't get the credit in Canada, so the 35i is a better deal before considering fuel economy. Good point though.

I don't own a 35d but have spent a fair bit of time in one and compared it to the 4.8.

There is no question I'd opt for the 35d. It returned 12.8l/100km in the city and around 9l/100 on the...

Too bad the 40d won't make it to NA. I think most people chose the 35d to get better performance than the 3.0 offered while improving on fuel mileage as compared to the 4.8.

It now seems that the...

Right, but time will tell whether Toyota's problems are indeed the floor mats or there is an electronic glitch which led to the run away car and trooper (+family's) deaths. It is hard to imagine a...

If this is an 8 - 10 year car, I'd wait for the most current iteration. If you don't like it, I'm sure yo will be able to search the BMW dealer network to find a 4.8 with the options you want, to buy.

Well the audio portion is of some value. I have a music concert I love listening too (and watching) - perfect for the audio only feature while on the road.

What makes you think the holdup in supply relates to a part problem? Maybe the camera manufacturer ran out of glass? Maybe they sold too many to Ford and didn't leave enough on the shelf for BMW.

If he had any more options, they would have needed a second page. As it is, it must set up for over $75K. Keep it forever; no one will pay for the exclusive options in 3 years.

I think what he is trying to say is that when you buy or lease a BMW, you are paying for more than a run of the mill car, (from a quality point of view), or are you?

What does he want them to do?...
