Ah, over here the 3.0's came with a fair bit of standard kit... all were sports and essentially SE's...

I dunno really, some sensible expensive options, that I'm glad I don't have, like pro sat nav and SMG (liabilities really, or distractions), while dimming mirrors and wind deflector seem like default options you wouldn't NOT tick...

I know it is divisive, but I really love my SMG. Granted, it takes a week or so to appreciate it; therefore, those who gave it a simple test drive will walk away disappointed.

I'm sure it's actually pretty good. I just saw the technical docs for it over on the z4-forum and made my mind up on that alone...

So don't worry, I don't not like it (infact I'd have quite liked to get it because it can't be THAT bad), but I was worried more about my pockets down the line

I have similar concerns. I hear good and bad about the reliability of it. Where did you get your technical info relating to SMGs? I would like to read them as well for my on use.
