Such a disappointment having no alcantara headliner option. As always. I knew it wasn't listed in the ordering guide but still upsets me BMW refuses to offer this option on a 75k car. What happening with 4 zone climate control? Did that end up in the US spec?

I assume alcantara headliner will be available later in the year when Individual paint and leather becomes available.

Don't know why USA isn't getting the 4 zone climate control.

I wish the comfort access and rear view camera weren't buried in packages with other options I don't need.

Black wheels still aren't an option despite some press cars having them. Dealers offer to paint them anyway for cheap, that's the better route IMO.

If they arnt initially available from the factory for US cars you could also just buy them through the parts department ans sell the factory wheels

What happened to the $700 VDC suspension upgrade with MSport? I believe that was also in the US order guide. Now it looks like no adaptive suspension is available for the 530i and on the 540i one must order the $3,500 DHP for this.

Yeah I noticed this too. I'm not paying that much for it though.

Good question. On the 540i Msport I drove it had the DDC as a separate $700 option without the DHP.

Under the Options tab there is the Dynamic Damper Control for $1000. Is that the same?

It looks like DDC is a 530i only option, and the 540i requires the $3,500 DHP for adaptive suspension.

There must be a way to option the 540i with just the ddc without DHP since it was optioned that way on the one I drove
