2015 M-Sport. Things Not available on it.

I ordered a 2015 M-Sport. The following options are not available on it per my Salesman.

-The new feature where you wave your foot under the rear bumper to open the tailgate is not available. Something to do with the M-Sport bumper. This sucks!

-ACC Stop & Go + Active Driving Assistant

Anyone know anything else not available? I know I'm missing something else.

A good point : If you choose the surround view, you don't have a "dot" put in the front of the car, The camera is "include" into the upper level of the bump.

Glad I never hung on for the LC1, judging by how long i waited for mine (almost 6 months) that would make delivery October / November!!

I was told by a dealer yesterday that the Cold Weather Package is not available, but heated front seats can be added as a separate option. I believe the issue is the heated steering wheel on the M Sport.

I find it silly that you could get a heated M Sport severing wheel and heated rear seats in 2014 but not in 2015. Why the downgrade?

Neither is a deal-breaker for me when it comes to the M Sport. The pluses the M Sport brings more than offsets these minuses. But still, for those of us who just went through a winter like we did in the northeast, why should we have to make such choices?

It depends on when the dealer has an allocated build slot.

I agree with you I live in Minneapolis. However, Ive placed my order and got every option available except the Driver assistance plus package because I was told it was available in its entirety on the M-Sport. I just got the surround view camera as a stand alone option. The rest of the package you cant have. I did bring up what people were posting here to my Client Adviser and he said all was good. So I'm trusting him.

I'll have to see what my dealer says when I ultimately place my order later this week. Based on phone and e:mail conversations thus far they claim the best I can do is the heated front seats as a stand alone option on the M Sport, not the full cold weather package.

I was able to get the full weather package in the M-sport. If I remember correctly, that canceled the driver assist package...

Melbourne red scares me. Awesome color but I would get pulled over daily!
Pic is not a 35i but close enough.
