Hi, do you have any pics of the side of the seat where the adjustment knobs are?

Beautiful car.....

Curious on the heat and A/C screens.....in one pic it's white and other orange. Can you manually change that or does it automatically change based on whether it's light or dark out?

The LCD backlight on the climate control panel is white during the day and changes to amber when the headlights turn on. You could manually change them to amber by switching on the low-beams

What is with the cloth insert where the leather meets the seat base?! My current F10 550i and F25 don't have this condition, nor have I had it in any previous BMW. Once had a Volvo 740 with this type detail, always thought it looked tacky.

That interface is a source of a lot of noise complaints.
Making it cloth should eliminate them

Really, I've had at least 8 BMWs with a similar seat/leather detail, never had a noise issue. Is this more of a cold weather issue? But this cloth insert really looks bad from a design point of view, so let's knock down BMW in the JD Power surveys for being tacky! Realistically, BMW is taking the JD Power surveys way too seriously.

It's really not that big of a deal. If it eliminates the squeaks, which I have on my f10 then I'm glad it's there.

I wonder if those buttons are touch sensitive like in the G10? I think I remember reading they acted as a shortcut to the seating adjustments/seat climate in the iDrive now.

Touch sensitive only on the MultiContor seats. Standard seats and sport seats are not touch sensitive.

Congratulations.

Quick Question: Rear turn signals; -Do they flash Amber or Red?

Thank You!

Here someone says red. I think the red lights often look yellow/orange/amber in pics. Very hard to capture the red light.
