Talking Has anyone gotten any option FREE on their 4GC?

In another thread I have heard of guys getting nice surprises, by receiving options that they didn't Order.

Wonder if they were giving more things Standard now with the 2015 4GC?

I was charged for all the options I have below in my Sig.

For instance, if you got 40/20/40 seats and never Ordered it Etc.

The 40/20/40 seats aren't standard? If that's the case, what package does it come with?

Just saw that your car is due in 2.5 weeks! Getting enough sleep?

40/20/40 seats are standard in the 4GC. One thing I wasn't expecting to get however was the emergency call feature - near the cabin lighting controls there's a button which swings out of the way when pressed and released, to reveal a glowing red SOS button. A single press of that calls emergency services! If you have an accident, emergency services are already called for you, and if you don't respond, an ambulance will be sent to your location.

Not sure if this is a region-specific feature, but it's free here in Aus.

Here it was a standalone option, like when you go to the BMW uk website.

Lol lol yeah finally in a few weeks!! Not getting much sleep at all, and spending the weekends at the dealer sitting in other peoples 4's,

Thanks for Letting me know about the seats, I will talk to my dealer when it gets here. does through loading come with the 40/20/40 seats.

That SOS button sounds really cool, think we get that here too. Think of the fun if you modded the switch, lol.

Is there anything else in my sig that looks like you should get free?

Just regional differences... we pay more for cars down here so it maybe kinda sorta balances out? hahah

These things from your sig are standard / no-cost options here:

Alpine W
18" 441's (we have a choice of wheels)
Black Leather
Sport/Mem. Seats
Hex. Alum w/Black Piano
Adaptive Suspension
8 Speed Sport Auto w/Paddles
Through Load
Xenon
Adj.Armrest

Not sure what "xStorage" and "xTended Instr. Panel" are; we might get those too.

Sleep well!! and don't forget to take photos haha

Thanks I will certainly try!!

And I will definitely take some photos when I get it. XStorage and Xtended Instr. Panel, mean the Extended Storage Option: Where you get the Net and extra Storage bins in the back. the other is the Extended Instruement Panel where you get all Digital on the bottom, opposed to the MPG Needle itself.

Man seems like you get everything included in yours. I think you had said the price that you paid when you first got it and it was close to mine - horrendous.. LOL.

my dealer threw in a free set of all weather mats at the last second before I drove off the lot. they also sent me a bottle of wine in the mail that came Friday and I quickly polished off (it was a rough day!)

I was asking for tint, but didn't get it ... had to add afterwards

Canadians pay A LOT more for the 435, but get a lot "free" in it.
19 inch wheels for example...

I was a bit worried about FERRIC GREY wheels on a MG, but the color combination looks good. I've been asked if those are after market M wheels because they match the car perfect, when I tell them that they are OEM I get props for building the car this way!!!
Only if they knew it was an error that got those wheels on my build.
Make sure you post some pics once you get you GC!!!
It's a really fun car to drive!!!

Adding the leather dash option cures this "problem."
