Yet somehow adaptive cruise is a rarity on the BMWs out there, often requiring an option package that few dealers spec. (Though I think this may be finally starting to change with the 2025 model year).

That's just because literally everything is an optional add-on on a BMW.

So many BMWs out there on the road without the indicators package because the owner cheaped out when buying it.

  • I didn't even know that was an option, never seen one that had it fitted.

    • My understanding is that the hardware is always installed but the dealer will not fill the liquid reservoirs unless the customer specifically requests (and pays) for it.

Sadly, they’re close to 100% caught up to automatic transmissions in North America.

  • Are you advocating for manual transmissions?

    • In european cars for sure. They don'tilike autos there so they are an afterthought.

      though it also means nobody will steal my truck in the us as who can drive it?
