barely optioned 3.5i showed up in record time?
ordered on 6/21 and got the production order number the next day. picked up today in CT on 7/9. so ~2 1/2 weeks.
3.5i deep sea blue metallic black leatherette brushed aluminum trim sports package heated front seats + steering wheel 309 wheels w/ mixed performance tires BMW Assist (forced because of shortage or whatever) loving the car so far! the car has so many settings, even with not that many options. need to do a bit more reading, as i thought because i didnt get DHP, i couldnt change the chassis settings for sport mode (in idrive, it lets me select chassis and drivetrain). |

Congrats! That was FAST Yep, on the 35i if you get the sport package you get to change from normal to sport to sport + through I-drive. You'll feel a change in the steering as well as the suspension. Post some pics of your new ride!

Congrats on your new ride! Love the deep blue color, looks very sharp.
You mentioned that you did not opt for the Dynamic Handling Package, in one of the picture you took (pic above) there's the sport and normal button next to the gear shifter, I thought that only come with the car when you order the Dynamic Handling Package? Or does it come with the car when you just order the Sport Activity package without the Dynamic Handling Package? Thanks! |

Thanks 509trooper! I ordered the 35i include the Sport Activity Package and wasn't sure if I should opt for the DHP because I don't like the variable sport steering function but do like the normal, sport selector there and I asked the dealer and they're not sure either...
Thanks again for cleared out my question! |

Seems like an easy way to get the answer would be to look at the suspension of a base 35i, one with SAP but not DHP, and one with both SAP and DHP. I've seen a picture posted of the case for both SAP and DHP. If adjustments are being made to the suspension of a mass produced vehicle available for sale to the general public, and it doesn't have air springs, then the only way I can think that is done is via adjustable dampers. A photo should reveal whether that is the case. Bruce |
