Most people should have known this considering all the information relating to individual options posted on bimmerpost.

Still don't know why Dravit Grey is not option on 330i from build your own bmwusa.com -- It's available in all other markets and even on the m340i.

Finally I get my answer that Citrin Black Metallic is now in the Individual color Catalogue. Up to this point the my only other color choice was Tanzanite Blue Metallic (which is also outstanding btw). Going to be a tough one when ordering the M340i xdrive in two years. It will either be Tanzanite Blue Metallic with oyster interior or Citrin Black Metallic with oyster or mocha interior.

As much as I'd like to believe, the description for the Drive Recorder does NOT sound like a factory dashcam. Only 40 secs max per recording? Why not just make it continuously record with a 6 hour buffer or something like that?

40 seconds, no thank you. Though this seems to be the next new option that will become more extended and useful over time.

20s pre-crash is very useful though.

That all depends on what you were doing in that 20 seconds...

They are going to give us 5 merino full leather options in the 3 series in the US? I'll bet it never happens, but I hope I'm wrong.

This is why I never order a first year car. Let BMW get the first year or two of bugs worked out. Plus minor changes to be made such as these. This is before any possible lci. In fact if one likes the car, it is best to wait until the last model year of a given series. That way any changes to make have happened already and six to seven years of reliability under the belt.

This to me gives me a huge pause if i was (I am) looking at the g20. The car gets released in March and in July gets an update? Odd...maybe i am out of the loop but i didn't know car companies do this.

When i took my test drive a week ago, the sales person let on that they had some updates coming and perhaps some of the non-standard small features (remote start, etc) may become standard.

My guess is that the US will see three merino options. I'm just hoping for "full" merino rather than "extended" merino. I've been waiting to place my 340 order until these options are flushed out.

It's not an update. It's a late launch. My prior employer car company and others will often ramp up product complexity over time at new launches to ensure the basics are properly in volume production. Typically, the second or third year are optimal, as first year issues have been recognized, changes prepared for a coordinated launch at V1 of the next year, and the car hasn't been around long enough for the planners to start typical seen or unseen cost reductions yet, as happens as the program ages. I'd at least wait for year 2 if you are not in a difficult lease timing situation or don't suffer from "firstonyourblockitis".
