Well I drive outstation a lot, every week in fact, and such small features do make a difference. I bought the car for long distance driving. Small features like these add to the overall experience. It was my mistake of not going through the specifications before buying it and will learn from it. I didn't have the time and let my office go through all the processes as was in a rush to get a second car. The parallel import f10 had such features and expected the official dealer to have such basic options available. Another problem is the lack of a through-loading boot where I can't lower the rear seats.
Primus2211, "not great but OK" is what I think about the lights as well. I don't expect a car at this level to be "not great but OK". I do actually enjoy night drives through Ulu Yam and Kuala Kelawang. I wouldn't use this car for it, but do try it sometime to fully understand the difference between adaptive and non-adaptive. I am sure drives to East Coast through Karak or even KB would be very different with and without such lights. Many corners without proper signages and even came across motor bikes without any lights, which you spot too late sometimes. These lights do help make it safer.
Anyway, the BMW driving experience has been great. Its comfortable and economical which is what I bought if for. Only 18L of diesel from Singapore to KL. The sales experience was terrible though with Quill. The sales girl promised many features like 5 years service which I didn't end up getting because it was a "rumor". I still have the SMS saying book now and you'll get the 100k km free service.
Will be more thorough next time round buying a car.
. I guess the main concern for BMW Malaysia (and Indonesia, too) is to shaft their customers and have a fat/thick/ample profit. BMW Malaysia (and Indonesia) if you are reading this?
