Other features:

Professional navigation
Sunroof
Dual xenons with headlamp washer system
Cruise control
Dual zone climate control (and you can adjust vent output individually on the iDrive)
Carpet and rubber floor mats. Carpets basically new as I have had the rubber mats on them the whole time.
PDC front and rear (shows you a "heat map" type thing on the iDrive and beeps from the speaker closest to the corner that's getting close)
Auto lights
Rear window shade
Bluetooth (parrot kit but works with steering controls). I had this upgraded to work with Android.
And last but not least, 4 cup holders (2 pop out of the dash and 2 in rear center armrest)

It does have the "smokers pack" so it has ashtrays etc but I'm not a smoker and the ashtrays look unused so I doubt the previous owner was.

Other info/issues:
Tyres are non run flats. I bought a full set of 4 in December. It comes with a biscuit tyre so I don't really need RFT's.

The car comes with a warning triangle and all the tools/fuses however it is missing the oem first aid kit. You could purchase one from BMW for around R700 but what it actually contains is about the same as a R100 kit from Dischem.

The car has auto wipers but the rain sensor is not working so they are just normal wipers now. This seems to be an issue that would require replacing the windscreen as I think it was replaced before but they didn't quite get that bit right.

There are a few dents/chips (3 dents and 2 chips I can recall but I'd have to look very carefully to find them again) but in general I'd say it's in a very good condition, actually in better condition than my previous 2 cars that were sold on 22000km and 62000km. The car is covered in VPS at the front and the side mirrors but the VPS itself is not in the greatest condition.

I've replaced front shocks and bushes as there was a slight rattle, replaced the crankshaft pulley as it was worn and at the same time did other pulleys and belts. This is stuff that pretty much has to be done every 100,000km. I also replaced the battery as I think the last one was standing at the dealer a bit too long.

It's missing the tow hitch cover. These are ~$20 on ebay or ~R600 from BMW (which is probably why some #$%^@# helped himself to mine and why I'm hesitant to replace).

It still has all the books etc. Serviced by BMW from 0-100000km and then it's had 1 service with TuneTech at ~110000km.

It needs an oil change in ~9000km, should be ~R1800. Brake fluid in 04/2015 should be ~R600. Brake pads in 16000km.

It has about 6 months left of a third party warranty.

These pics are from when I got it. Only differences is that is has number plates on now and the missing tow hitch cover.

Thanks, it is indeed because the widescreen idrive from the pro nav option looks much better. Going to try conclude purchase of new car tomorrow so will trade it.
 
Bump. Ended up keeping the car as it was "sold" at the point I bought the new one so didn't trade it, and then that fell through so it's still available. Accepting offers.
