E61 to F11 LCI

TMP · 07-30-2013, 08:03 AM

Found a great lease, and its working out to be a lot cheaper than AUC.
So, i think i am about to push the button on a new LCI 520d Auto M Sport Touring.

Amazingly, almost all the options I had on my E61 LCI are now standard! With the exception of Sun Protection glass and Metallic.
So to keep the lease down, will only add on Sun protection glass.

its for wifey, so doesn't need any of the gadgets my M135i has....but is there any gotcha's in the LCI spec I may have missed?

Visibility pack is essential IMO.

I have Vis pack and I like it....

Xenons are standard though
Edit - just checked and its not available as a pack on the LCI!

That's true, I forgot. Xenons are now standard so the upgrade path is full LED lights and adaptive lights.

Wifey doesn't need Apative or auto full beam (i love em on the M135!)

Standard spec is pretty bloody good!!!!

Do you get the 2 cup holders at the front as standard?

depends on if you have auto or manual. with auto yes, with manual just 1 but not at teh front but near the shifter.

the best thing of the 5 series is the huge navi screen - would a shame if you did not take that..

Reversing camera!

Maybe it's because I have to park in London a lot, maybe I'm crap at parking (probably both) but that was first tick I put on the options, and not TOO expensive.
