Here ‘s what you need to know if you ‘re buying the 1M and you ‘re ordering in the US. There are very few A la carte options and you ‘ll likely be forced to buy one of both of the packages to get what you want. Now the good news… You ‘re buying a 1M.

Pricing won ‘t be announced until the Detroit Auto Show the 2nd week of January. But beyond that we know pretty much everything else.

BMW NA has (very) unfortunately packaged options like Bluetooth and Navigation into two packages; premium and convenience. So in my case where I originally wanted just two options (Navigation and Bluetooth) I now have a mostly loaded car. And yes, that ‘s my order above. You can see the full options list after the break.
