Special ordering 550i xDrive

secretanchitman · 07-25-2014, 07:19 PM

Hey guys. Looks like we will be placing an order for a 2015 550i xDrive soon. I know the whole debacle about how BMW got rid of the 4NB/4 zone Climate Control in the F10 sedans except AH5 and M5, but I've seen that people were able to get it special ordered by their dealer/CA on their orders.

Is it easy for them to do? This is an option that we would really like to have. In addition, I would also want the increased top speed limiter but we may just have to settle on getting performance tires which include 840/increased top speed limiter.

Thanks in advance!

Don't waste your money. I paid for that in my fully loaded X5 and it doesn't work. The only way to get heat to the back is to turn the heat on in the front. Dealer admitted it doesn't work in any of them, not to mention a kid playing with buttons in the back can have the fan whizzing on high and YOU CANT REACH TO TURN IT OFF.

Really? Experienced it in a 2011/2012 5 series and current 7 series and loved it. Managed to get it special ordered as well!

Maybe mine was just flawed and didn't work, but the system in my car was worthless. I have suspected all along that it was MY car that was the problem.

Ah sorry to hear that. Hopefully it's better in the LCI
