BMW being greedy is your opinion...and you are entitled to it. IMO, I think the $1,900 option for Full Adaptive LED Headlights is worth the price...so I will be clicking that option for the 3rd time. To each their own.

Markets vary a lot. At the same time we have one of the highest tax on cars in the world here in Denmark so here it's closer to USD 5000 for the upgrade - and that makes out used-car-fleet 90% halogens and people like me who shop for second hand cars more likely not to have a choice.

You might not think it's greedy, but a brand spanking new high end German car/SUV in 2017 shouldn't even have the option to go with halogens. Especially not when they loose their angel eyes which is a big part of the BMW DNA IMO

Cool, so maybe we'll see us there. I'm not sure if I'll show up. I'm interested to see it in person, but my heart tells me to check out the Mercedes GT's I know, I'm nuts..

Hi Nachbar,

yes maybe we will meet there. was on your email the 20d stipulated? I hope they show it with M Sport Package, but I believe not. Funny they choosed this engine for the swiss market.

GT Benz is a total league, but very nice one too.

See you probably next thursday.

Thank you ddanny - looks great. Thought our next car might come from the JLR stable, but a 3rd generation M40i looks very interesting

I guess someone at BMW HK is going to be in trouble for letting the cat out of the bag early.

Yeah. It's a beautiful car. Also love the 2015 f80 mule. It's going to be a masterpiece! Wonder when they'll come out with the first batch of cars?
