Ok, so i am collecting my Z4M Coupe this Saturday and I have asked them to do 2 things.

1. Make it so the doors lock when i drive off
2. Dip the passenger side mirror when i put the car in reverse

Are there any other things like this i should ask for?

Don't ask them for 2. - you can't do it unfortunately.

Really, that's a great shame as i really wanted that. Oh well, i will let them try just so they learn for themselves. It is very strange that they dont let you do it.

[Wondermike]

Yep bit unusual really, don't think Audi will do it either, just Merc? I used to have a scan of the list of things they can change for you, but I can't find it now, I'll keep looking.

[churchwa]

Well i used to drive a 330ci and that did it as does the new 5 series.

Thanks for looking for the list, it would be great to see.

[Wondermike]

Right, never realised, just the Z4 that's behind the times then.

I still can't find the bloody list - maybe on my work laptop, will look tomorrow unless someone else can find it in the meantime.

Cheers Mike, struggling to find it online, bet it was on Z4um lol.

- Daytime running lights
- BOTH doors lock and unlock when you press your key fob

[churchwa]

Ok, what do the daytime running lights do and why would i want them?

So the car does not open the passenger dor when you unlock it, even if you press the button twice?

Check to make sure your requests have been attended to, and if they forgot, get them to do it before you finish the final paperwork.

Congrats in advance

DRLs just keep your lights running all the time (at a low intensity). It's supposed to be safer and it's the law where I live.

You do have to press the button twice to open both doors. I just prefer to have them lock and unlock with a single push. It's up to you of course.

Thanks for the info, i quite like having only 1 door open as i live in a big city. Always good to know my options though.

You mean in a big city, if you unlock both doors at once, then some street bum or thief will suddenly run over, open your passenger door and jump in?

I also don't have the need to have both my doors unlock simultaneously. I'm the only one that rides in it, for the most part. Geez, how lazy is that not to want to push your button twice?

It's all about efficiency, baby. If my wife is with me, then I would have to press the button twice, and then a third time and hold it down to get the top to come down. This way, I only have to press it twice in total.

Oh yeah!
