I believe they are indicators, at least that's what I've noticed in my car. I think only the rings are DRLs.

I've just added some options to mine...having a final deal with the dealers over the last few £££££'s
Not CP or CB's...but most of everything else...list on the road is £110,875.

That's what we like to hear! Keep them rare...

They are the indicators.

DRL's are the Angel Eyes and strip along the top.

Ok...update, finally agreed a figure with the dealer....after some back and forth i got down to saving the final £94.00...

So spec is:

Singapore Grey
Sakhir Orange Extended Merino Leather
Carbon Fibre Trim
433M Alloy Wheels

Steering Wheel Heating
Comfort Access
Soft Close Doors
Reversing Assist Camera
Seat Ventilation, Front
M Multi- Function Seats, Front
Surround-View
BMW Online Services
Real Time Traffic Information
Information Plus
Remote Services
Internet
B&O Advanced Audio System
Online Entertainment
Sun Protection Glass
Speed Limit Display
Seat Heating Rear
Air Conditioning , Automatic With Four-Zone Control
Sunblinds For Side And Rear Windows
Lane Change Warning System
Driving Assistant

I think that was everything...plus all the normal no cost option bits..

Just a long wait now!

[RichardP]

Only thing I'd change there, at no cost, are the wheels. 433M are cast and heavy, 343M are forged, so stronger and lighter. Total weight difference is 11.5Kg, which is a lot of rotating unsprung mass.

Both blinds and sun protection glass are not really necessary IMO.

One tip for you guys, one of the first things you should do is to grease the outside of the wheel bearings. Just take the wheels off and put a thin layer of copper grease on the nice shiny metal hub. If you don't it will rust badly and the wheels will get stuck on!

Thanks Richard, noted..

I will be adding to mine;

Rear diffuser
Black or carbon grilles

Thanks Richard, much appreciated...yes I will be changing them....sorry just had the call from the dealer...I have changed them now!

I really didn't know that about the weight, is that per wheel or all four total?

Did this when putting the Winter wheels on the M5, it's a must.
Will be doing the same in November when i put the Winters on the M6.
