Free USB and Heated Seats.....

.....for January builds.

Popped into BMW this week to add heated seats to the 520 I ordered a few weeks ago. They had just that day received note from BMW that all Jan builds will get free USB and heated seats. I presume this is to soften the 2.5% price hike by BMW in 2011 (on top of the 2.5% extra VAT)

Thanks for this... What is the option code for "free USB"? Is it the iPod/USB interface (6FL) or something else?

Sorry I don't know the code.

Stop start on auto would be cool.

I can confirm via my dealership that the "free USB" is indeed a reference to option code '6FL'. So looks like I am due a £205 + VAT refund and/or swapsies on another option in its place...

Free usb

I understand that USB is free on all six cylinder cars just not on the 520d. On this note I had usb in my E61 but it wouldnt work with an iphone so I used an old ipod classic. On the F10 it reads the music from the iphone using the USB cable with the album art, which is cool, so it charges the phone plays the music with all the access to tracks playlists etc and Ive now got an ipod classic for the house cool eh!

If you go to the UK configurator, the heated seats are still there as standard fitment (for a 520D at least).

I have had my 520d for a week. It includes USB which works great. It was at no extra cost.
