Interior Roof handle grips

Hi was doing some spirited driving on some bends and my passenger exclaims there are no interior roof handles to holda. I was like What the heck? Does your X4 have this?

Let's hear from others, if omitted on all models of the X4 BMW is really being cheap!

no handles. Was in a lot of the reviews that BMW didn't include them.
My 80 year old mother grabs onto the exterior of the car around the windshield frame (with rings on her hand) to pull herself in. It's killing me. Gotta figure out a way to get her in without scratching the paint with those rings!!!
The handles are definitely needed!!

I do have the light! But I also took the light pack, maybe that explains it..... So the vanity mirror light was in an option.

What's in the light pack? I have that cool light at night in the cabin that's very classy. Let me know.

Option 563 (Also on X3, and other BMW's if I remember well), part of an "exclusive pack" here in Belgium:

lights in the door handles outside
more interior lights (underneath the seats) for foot space front and back
lights in the door bottoms (front and back) when you step out
lights with the vanity mirrors
light in dashboard storage space
light in doors storage space inside
interior lights can be changed from orange to white via idrive

I guess that's it: well worth the money!

.. I m lol..I need the grabbing package!!

In US the package for lights came standard on my Msport. Probsbly Xline as well I woild imagine. I looked on BMW USA build your own site for the Msport and it was still the same. No extra for that option. Funny they added that the cluster with additional features under the Technology package. Which was not there before. Must have gotten all those complaints by people surprised with basic cluster who didn't get the package.

I agree with you.. It's a safety feature. Have always had them in my SUVs a and X5. i bet they add those with the next gen.

Posted in X3 forum here --->>http://x3.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1053996. And the LCI X3 comes with the roof grab handles. So if I get this right, you pay more for the X4 but need the grab package to get roof handles which is non existent!!. Nkt!!!

This was one of the most important remarks (the only often) in all the reviews I read before buying mine...... so a well known fact..... it is a pitty, I agree, but it did not influenced my decision for a split second....

I ordered long time July production, i guess i didn't pay attention but Its not a deal breaker but the vanity light mirror and grab handles in my recollection has always been standard. Anyway the small price of being an early adopter before still loving the X4.

I ordered the light package specifically to get the vanity lights, will be delivered in December.

I do not remember seeing any option for the grab handles. Seems like an absurd omission.

The M4 has the same, no grab handles whatsoever. Why, BMW?

Looked at my car again I suspect the sloping roof would make the grab handles be in the way, would be the same for the 4 series. I can see no other explanation than this....and being cheap!
