Ok, I had to bite and took a look at the local German configurator to see the colour palette. The yellow paint job and red interior just don't do it for me- too hard on the eyes
I was really put off at how the Germans have found new ways to nickel-and-dime. 50€ for a larger fuel tank ? Another 50 € for a Mobility patch kit or 110€ for a spare ? So if I choose neither, I'm automatically stranded with a flat ?
. 300€ for tinted windows ? Then again, I'm charged 3,10 € for a glass of water at restaurants in Germany, so......
I built a sDrive18i (1,5 litre 140PS) which starts at 34 k€ but adding a moonroof, cruise control, PDC, LED headlamps, and other small sundry items like paint and heated steering wheel added 6k to the price. Absurdly expensive for a fashion item.
Interestingly, this engine is offered with a 7-speed DCT (2 100€ option) instead of the 8-speed automatic.
I wonder if the hard ride is a function of wheel/suspension equipment? Something like 17" and standard suspension shouldn't be too hard......
