For me, the standard spec on my G29 included everything I wanted. Many things like parking sensors, rain sensors, auto lights, are now standard but were previously optional extras. If you want to have a perspective on extras try ordering a new Porsche!

I happily paid for the technology pack to get HUD, HK sound system, and rear parking camera. At £1800 good value.

Remote opening and closing of the roof are a long way down the list of must haves IMO. WTF is that about?

On a red hot day it’s nice to have the ability to lower the roof to let the hot air escape as you approach the car, more preferable to climbing into an oven :thumbsup:

For me remote opening & closing is important - I’ve got a dodgy leg so it’s easier for me if the roof is down.
Even after explaining this to BMW they were unable to help - The dealer was happy to fit the Smarttop module tho.
Whenever the car goes in for service I remind them that there is a one push roof control fitted.

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:
