there are just a few options that i dont understand and i was hoping that you guys will help me out .. i cant ask my dealer cuz he literally doesnt know anything ..

1 .the "358 - climate comfort windscreen" .. does that mean ill get the tint in the passenger seats at the back ? what exactly does this mean ..

2. the "775 - roof liner" ... what is this ? :confused:

3. the "544 - cruise control with brake function" .. does this option mean that when i am driving using cruise control and a car is in front of me then it brakes alone till that car moves out of my way ?

4. the "761 - individual solar glass filter" .. i really dont know whats this ..

5 . the "677 - Hi-Fi system professional DSP" .. is this the same as the premium sound package ? does it come with the 16-speaker ?



thanks all i advance .. i will post some pics up as soon as i get the car which will be in 2 weeks maybe ..
my dealer assured me that the aerodynamic kit will be fitted here in Dubai ..

THANKS !!!

:thumbup:

1. no this only applies to the front windscreen.
2. This is the black sports roof lining rather than the standard white one
3. No - this is the standard cruise control - the braking is if you are going down hill to stop the car speeding up
4. No idea!
5. yes

thanks wayed

1. This is the UV protection windscreen. It has somewhat of a "purplish" hue to it.

2. I believe this is the "anthracite" or black headliner.
3. Brakes are applied when going downhill like Stumpy said.
4. I believe this is the dark gray "privacy" glass for all of the rear windows that comes with the US Climate Package option.
5. Yes, the term "DSP" signifies equalizer capabilities that only come with the higher end Premium sound system IMO.

I'm sorry, but does anyone else have a problem with an 18 year old kid driving an $80,000 car? What's the logic here? Where is the incentive to make something for yourself?

Happy Birthday:confused::rofl::confused::rofl:

congragulation KaiFy GaiwanY and Eid Mubarak

you have almost all options :thumbup:
but I noticed that you have sport suspention 226 in your spesifications insted of adaptive drive (2VA) !!!!!

IMO with all these full specifications adaptive drive is almost a must option and it will soften your ride

We call it Texas Tea; they call it tapwater.


FYI, you can always tell the cars here in San Diego that get tinted in Tijuana - they have that fugly purple tint. :rofl:

The Climate windscreen is Athermic. It may cause problems if you are using a Radar Detector, aftermarket GPS or a transponder of any sort.

I was just going to say, damn! I didn't even have my own car when I was 18. I hope you appreciate your blessings in life. Congrats and Happy Birthday kid.

<-- wonders how often that happens in UAE.

i dont care if all of you have a problem with it .. in the gulf states , we live differently .. i have a friend who is not even 18 and his first car is going to be an aston martin DB9 , now what will u say about that ?!!!!

trust me , that happens a lot here but its okay ..

thanks a lot man .. u helped me out alot !!! but just have a small question .. what will happen if i tint the front windscreen :confused: will it cause a problem since it has that "some what purplish " hue to it ?

yeah you're right but it seems like we dont have the option here in UAE because i told my dealer that i want abolutely all options so i dont know .. but thanks a lot

Happy Birthday and congrats!!! If this is going to be your first car, I can't imagine what kind of vehicles your parents must be driving.

i do appreciate my blesings in life and trust me , people here dont really appreciate the things they get .. im only 18 but that does not mean im stupid .. i graduated from school with a gpa of 3.98 and im a freshman at the American University of Sharjah which is close by to dubai and so far im an A student ..

in the uae it is very rare to find an 18 year old "kid" without his own car .. everyone here has a car ..

thanks a lot man !! lol trust me , they drive fabolous cars :rofl:

lol thanks a lot all of you for all the info !!!

and btw people .. i still dont have my driving license !!!! im getting it on oct 25th , one day before my e70 arrives hahaha ..

Congratulation on your car!

Congrats and happy b-day!

thanks man

Most importantly, drive safe. You may consider yourself intelligent but at 18 years you still lack the driving experience. I don't know the traffic conditions in the UAE but since you mentioned that there are people your age driving Astons, it's safe to say that they won't be going speed limit (if there is one).

we do have speed limits here in dubai .. on most streets its a maximum of 140 kph and 90% of dubai roads are covered with permanent radars .. if u get caught then u have to pay around AED 400 which is about $ 1,600 .. how about that ? dubai has rules too u know ..

Best of luck with the new car!!!

thanks dude

congrats!

thanks

I wouldn't do it if I was you, it will reduce your visibility at night.

True, but it does offer a "cutout" at the bottom center expressly for that purpose.

he could have earned the money himself. i am 23 and i am buying a 175 k usd e70.

i earned it myself over these years though businesses that i started after getting a loan from my father!

This is not exactly a full option. E.g. no adaptive drive and the leather is just nevada... sports suspension may help in case if someone has kidney stones but air suspension would be more useful, mostly if one goes for a desert trip. Got wood selector? Btw how does poplar look with saddle brown?

wood selector is an accessory !! and BTW adaptive drive is not available to an e70 with sports package in the UAE .. if u get a sports e70 then u get sports suspension here in UAE

another thing .. nevada leather is better than Nappa !!

Why?

Post pics of the fab cars in separate thread and treat our eyes. ;) :)

good for you. have you paid your dad back plus interest yet? :p

Adaptive Drive is an option that you can get in Middle East even if you have the sport package, but the dealer will not recommend the option if you have order the sport package code # 330. The reason, because the car will cost you more money (around $4,300) which they think Arab’s don't really care about driving quality. Arab cares more about body appearances.

* BTW I don't see that you got the Sport Package.

yeah well i think its too late for me to get adaptive drive .. my car is arriving next week ..

on top of the confirmation paper i received , it was written bmw x5 4.8i SPORT ...
the sports kit will be retrofitted here at the dealer ..

lol why would i post pics of aston martins and bentleys and lambos in a forum that is meant for x5 ? ;)

isnt napa leather the one that is mostly seen in normal cars and nevada leather is the nicer one ? :confused:

what do u mena "how does poplar look with saddle brown" ? it looks normal LOL i still dont have any pics ..

Beeeep, wrong, the Nevada leather is tha standard type, the Nappa is coming with extended leather interieur meaning some parts of the door and the dash board are in Nappa leather instead of plastic....
The Nappa leather is much more soft than the Nevada, to say it short
it´s fantastic !!!

:goodluck: with the new car and happy birthday

Christian

hmmmmm oh well :banghead: ..

thanks man

Is there a Nappa leather in Saddle Brown?

i really have no idea .. yala inshala 5air with my x5 hehe

I guess you have not checked our lounge forum. Members have posted pics of their Lambos, Ferraris, Vipers, and other exotics. You won't be the first.

aha nice to hear .. dont worry .. ill be posting up my friends rides over there ..

thnaks for the info

:iagree: Lucky AZZ!!!! Not sure I would have gone with that exterior color either. Just my $.02! It will still be a sweet ride!!!

ofcourse u wouldnt have gone with that exterior color cuz it aint your car duddeeee :nanana:

and yeah i am a lucky guy hahahaha :nanana: :nanana:

funnily no. though he does not need it back :)

are you sure about that??? I don't they were both similar in the number of areas covered in leather!! the only difference is harder/rocky type design vs softer flatter design...

also heard the softer leather was more prone to rips and wears easily..

not sure what I have on my current Landcruiser...it's tan leather interior but not as soft as the nappa...

i like the durability of the nevada...

anyone else have comments??

I currently have a M3 with Napa and it is great - there are many E46 M3s out there with lots of miles and no real issue with premature wear on the seats.

KEF

Congratulation! You are really lucky.

thanks my friend

Only thing with Nappa is that if you get the 3rd row..then by default that is Nevada only. So, you would have what would look like a bit of a mis-match between front/rear and 3rd row if you went Nappa.

I did it anyway as the 3rd row will be stowed 95% of the time...

i didnt even get the 3rd row seats .. i dont see the point of it .. i mean i dont have kids LOL

i just didnt see the point of it ..

Well... the point would be additional seating capacity for kids, ones a bit younger than you...

Cheers,
KEF

yeah but didnt you forget that im just turning 18 ? i mean i like kids but not at 18 :rofl:

hey kaify can u post the link of the forum where u got ur display pic from ..i remeber seeing it here but cant find it now! congrats on the ride

i also cant find it dude .. sorriez

thanks for the reply lemans
