On my honor, M5 is calling for oil service in 250mi so it will have been right at 8500mi since the last change. The car is driven quite hard but never in an an abusive way. Not a single drop has been added in between at any point...

It's not about the price of the unit, they have assembly lines for digital ones. Like they have for auto gearboxes, and everything that isn't standard creates additional cost while assembling car.

There's another little story behind the Announcement the G30 is the first BMW with CarPlay...
The very first car to leave the assembly line with it installed and operational was in fact...a Production Spec G30 in August and they've been rolling out since. |

What is standard?
At BMW.com km building My BMW 5-series.
You ar able to choose color, rims and more spec. Much interesting! But im Reading in meny articels that "sport" is standard? What does that mean? Sportline? First, you are at "standard equipment" Then, further down, you can choose "sportline" "luxuryline" or "msport package" I mean, sportline cant be the standard, right? |

the more I look at the g30 the more I like it, however, there are some things I don't like:
the "luxury line" badging, the car would have to be debadged, because that's just stupid. the "M" badge on the back of the 550. fine call it an "M550" but, please, save the M for real M cars. the active grilles may be cool, but it will just make it that much harder to get rid of the chrome grilles. bmw needs to give us options, chrome is disgusting |

You can Spec a few different types of grill trim. No need to jump the gun on tiny, non-existent stuff. |

That's what it looked like to me as well, however, based on the leaked order guide, it doesn't seem to be an offered color at all.
The closest one I could tell based once again on the guide is A90 Sophisto Gray (which to me seems to be much darker than Space Gray, which I currently have). |

A90 Sophisto Grau is what is called Dark Graphite in the US and carries over from the F10. This formulation is the original version (not II) with Xrillac. Very pretty color that was well liked. |

So yesterday i was at an closed event in Norway to see the G30. It was a silvergrey 540i with light interiour. The show was excellent, since they had lined up every 5 series to date, except the E12.
I attended it not expecting much, but they had an Scandinavian expert flown in, who had a great insight into the model, and luckily i got to talk to the guy afterward. So what about the G30, you've all seen the pictures, and as with the 7, it's not spectacular on pictures. More a evolution from the stylish F10, but close and upfront, the lines is perfect, very modern and makes perfect sense, the F10 really pales in comparison. I've been to alot of previews, this is probably the ones that suprised me the most, not having superhigh expectations, and loving the current model - the F10. But then you see the G30, and hear about the technical background of it, i'm mighty impressed with the car, it's the perfect design and solution coming from the F10. The expert did said it was the most thoughtfull and testet car ever from BMW, with over 200 crash test and an insane amount of milage covered. He also insisted on laser lights are for the 7 and i8 only, so no laser on the G30. The LED did light up 500 m, the laser did max out at 600m, i guess it's enough, it's more a marketing thingy, since the laser light only works on distance. BMW are usually understated on paper and pictures, the G30 more so, it's a car that has a lot of pressence, an impressive outcome from the succesfull F10, good job BMW!

In the UK on the F30 for instance you pick the model "Sport" or "Luxury" or "M sport" So it's different depending on the country?
