A contact I have at BMWNA informed me that the Icon LED/Laser headlights will not be offered as an option on the '22s, not sure if that has to do with supply issues or what, when I pressed to understand why I was just told, sorry...I just hope nothing else becomes "unavailable" once these guides come out!

For sure a bummer if calipers, laser headlights, and remote start is not available. |

whats the difference between the laser lights and the adaptive LED (in terms of actual design)?
im checking the press release and weirdly enough, there is absolutely no mentioning of laser lights whatsoever. i only assumed laser lights would be available because of the PR pictures… (both the normal X3 and X3M have the blue trim, the X4 and X4M have blacked out trim). the shapes of the angel eyes as well as the lenses (projectors) look the same between the two as well. anyway, spoke with the sales manager that i’ll be working with. he was transparent and was hesitant on giving definitive answers to all these questions since order guides still arent out. im gonna wait on ordering until i know what im getting into… as of now, seems like digital key is definitely out. laser lights are a big question mark. remote start is available though.

The LaserHL are mentioned in the PR pictures as an option (attached), this is why I also assumed they would be available since it says it pretty clearly that they would be available as an optional extra.
From what I have gathered, it looks like design wise the head lights look pretty much the same, outside of the blue accents that the laser ones have, it looks like the shape of the DRLs will be the same on both, unlike the DRLs on the M3/M4 which actually look different. Functionally, the laser lights provide better visibility when the high beams are used, outside of that they seem to be the same. So if that is the case, not having them as an option is probably no big deal. Quote:

I still haven't been able to see a non competition X3M. I want to see how the chrome looks on the car, at least to figure out what it'll look like while I wait to get the black parts to replace the chrome. |

Yep, they make sure to note "European model shown" on their pictures...
Which is funny to me because these X series all happen to be manufactured here in Greer SC!! Quote:

For the lights design differences, you got the blue accent and the chrome/clear for the laser vs black shadow line on the led.

My dealer is having his manager build mine as he has access to the configurator yet no prices yet. They have no ordering guide or price guide either. I'm hoping to get a build production week a month from now. I put money down for an allocation last month when BMW wouldn't take my 2021 order. Excited.
Still on the fence with whether or not to get ventilated sport seats. Everywhere I look makes it sound terrible, but I think these are the first sport seats with ventilation and may be better. Thoughts?

Only thing I didn't like when I had them before (on a Porsche) is that the seats look different. |

My wife and I have them on our X3MCs and would re-order. Major improvement in seat-body contact areas with perspiration vs non-ventilated, especially on long trips. Note our location is significantly different than yours re: climate, but they help in comfort (5 hr drive today in mid-80s temps and zero issues in that regards). |

Always thought my first M would be m3 or m4 but didn't like that front end and I think I'll have less anxiety in the northeast with snow given I'm a travel ICU nurse. The 2018 340 with the BMW tune and sound kit kept me happy but I want m power
