The mesh intake trim doesn't necessarily indicate Base vs Comp just as an ACC sensor isn't an indicator of MT vs AT. The minor differences with camo on the cars is *extremely* small and requires quality high-res photos to spot. Quote:

I started another thread to discuss it, probably should have just posted here but there is a swirly only final stage mule running around with the base traits (eggcrate lower grill, and diffuser without the extra fin) but also has the driving assist pro sensor which means it has to be an automatic |

See the above post. ACC doesn’t mean auto.

there arent any manuals in the bmw lineup (or any brand???) that integrate a manual with the driver assist pro or beyond basic ACC? I do not see how that would work considering the range speed the system can control for driver would have to intervene to shift |

All I see in those wheels is a labor-intensive car washing nightmare. I am considering a move to Porsche and though they aren't my favorite offering, I love the user-friendliness of the Carrera sport wheels.

Steady state highway cruising makes sense, but the system will also emergency brake the car, imagine being slowed down to 20mph then the system tries to reaccelerate up to highway speed in 6th, requiring driver intervention to get back into the proper gear. at least to date bmw hasn't felt their owners are capable of solving for that.... EDIT: my evidence is all US centric, if someone has examples from other markets happy to learn |

Will an 18" wheel clear the front caliper? Anyone actually seen a mule with anything smaller than 19"? What size do they appear to be? They need a design revision desperately to address a performance deficiency. Quote:
With or without an e-clutch, forward radar ACC can be combined with MT. The parameters of operation vary by manufacturers. |

Fair enough, my point was more around systems beyond the just basic ACC, BMW bills the driver assist suite as one if its key initiatives. BMW does not even offer just basic ACC on any vehicle in the USA except the outgoing 4 series (even the X1 its bundled with stop and go). Every new generation only offers that feature with the driver assist plus or pro packages... not sure if this is just a USA thing? Like most just forming my own uninformed opinions waiting for release date!

I honestly have not seen a single G8x with 18" front wheels nor do I believe the info was provided in bad faith. |

But very few manuals sold, and they usually only bring in highest spec and make a lot of options (in other markets) standard equipment. |

The comp package is $7k usd on an x3m I expect it will be similar on the M3. Considering that auto models are by far the volume seller I can't see bmw forcing the full 7k on buyers who want auto, that is likely a 10% price premium for the consumer preferred variant. It just wouldn't make business sense to me. Now if you told me that all autos were 510hp and comp wasn't a price premium option, merely a designation of manual or auto then I could see it. |
