First thoughts of new LCI SDrive 18D SE manual
Hi all,
I've had my new car for just over a month (after an 8 month wait) and overall, very pleased with it. I traded in my 520d SE F10 as my wife fractured a vertebrae and was having trouoble getting out of something so low so decided to upgrade to something with easier access. These are my initial views and would be interested how these compare with other owners. Pros
Cons
Cheers! |

Congrats .. Now for a pic or two ?
The storage issues are part of the extended storage pack which I don't think is very well described on the brochure I baulked at paying for it Nice review

Hi Andy,
Thanks for clarifying the storage issue. There are a few areas where the brochures could improve on information - two tone ambient lighting etc. Surprisingly, only taken one picture of the car so far. The wife thinks I'm obsessed for washing it once a week so loads of photos would just confirm her suspicions! |

BMW does the whole "storage package" in Canada, too. It's pretty frustrating that they try to charge an extra $300 for it. I skipped it. Same goes for $300 for Speed Limit Info and $500 for Traffic... I love BMWs but I hate the way they are marketed! Charge me a premium price, but don't nickel and dime me!

Hey vt,
*Front door hinges have moulded foam near them – is this a factory blank which needs to be removed? Otherwise it looks like a moisture trap. I have these on mine and just assumed they were there to help reduce wind / engine noise? Fellow Essex person too |

Hi,
I've since seen that these pieces of foam are indeed to reduce the wind noise although I would have thought black rubber would have been more effective and more aesthetically pleasing (albeit only visible with the door open). Ay this weekend but will take a photo when I can. |
