New Executive Package items for MY2018?
With the backup camera becomes mandatory standard for all new vehicles in May 2018, should we expect something different for that package?
Pretty sure BMW will just put that on the new selling price for 2018, kind of looking forward to how BMW will play this out. |

For sure. If the backup camera came standard I would not have sprung for the exec package myself.

They'll probably add lane departure warning and front parking assist to the exec package just to irritate me as those are the two features I think should have been in MY 17.

If you want options get an M4. M2 doesn't need anymore uncessary options.
Performance oriented options only please. |

The official explanation from BMW for not offering PDC in front was due to the shape of the front bumper. If they've overcome that hurdle with the LCI changes it may get it. Wait and see.

There is someone on here that retrofitted front PDC into the existing from bumper and it doesn't look bad at all. I think it was a cost thing.

You should always turn your head and check. Your eyes are far far far more reliable than the current blind spot technology.
Or just set your mirrors right. |

When I took delivery at the performance center they started by teaching us how to properly adjust our mirrors so there are no blind spots. Mind blown!

This video is great! Exactly what they talk you through at the performance center. Around minute three is the mirror adjustment (keep in mind he's talking about adjusting the mirrors with the doors closed), and the seat adjustments he talks about are great too. |

The good thing for me is I currently use the BROADWAY mirror on my rear view and it shows a wide view. I rarely look at my right side mirror as the rear view covers it all. I'm gonna try to adjust the side mirrors and get used to it from now on.
BTW I hate it when my mirrors get adjusted by accident from a car wash. I always tell them to be gentle as pressure can cause them to move. My OCD will need to have it adjusted back to exactly how it was and it can take awhile. But now with the no blind spot method it won't be so bad anymore. |

-To adjust the driver’s side-view mirror, place your head against the left side window and set the mirror so you can just barely see the side of the car in the mirror’s right side.
-To adjust the passenger’s side-view mirror, position your head so that it is just above the center console. Set the mirror so you can just barely see the side of the car in the left side of the mirror. |
