OK then, I guess we both got screwed! but hey, whats $286 in a car that cost 100k anyway...I hope that this is the worst fleecing we ever have to endure! (somehow I doubt it will be)

B-Line, that is one of the best posts EVER!!!

Ever? Really? ;)

seth.. you are easily amused/entertained.. LOL

Had someone written a review like this before I ordered my car, i'd be $286 richer :nanana:

So how is 1st-3rd gear again?

Thanks for your posts.

Don't you need the $1400 Premium sound package as pre-requisite to smartphone integration?

I agree.

Poorly marketed by BMW, baffling to both customers and sales associates, this 'Integration' is unnecessary.

At least I 'only' paid the $150 for the factory half-measure.

I'm taking it out.

Maybe I should send it in with my last payment (less $150).

(good post)

I don't know. I can tell you this though, the Premium sound package is great. The system sounds amazing.

it occurred to me that theoretically you do get one benefit from the integration kit... it is supposed to boost your reception and use the roof antenna (and it seems to actually do it to some extent). If you have the iphone then this might actually be useful since ATT coverage is pretty awful (at least in Denver).
