Fingers crossed that they go ahead with it, and adopt the more elegant solution
By the way, I compared the USA and UK "Build your i8" websites, and it was interesting that the USA site had hardly any options.
Is this because those options are unavailable in the USA, or because they are all included as standard?
On my ordered car, I selected the following for example (among other things):
Carpo interior
Turbine Wheels
Blue seatbelts
Driving assistant
Harman/Kardon loudspeaker upgrade
BMW Online services
Internet
Information Plus
Tracker
5 services (incl parts, fluids, labour, but excluding brake pads)
