Think I've got all my options picked out--what am I missing?
I've narrowed it down to a 2011 ZCPcoupe , with iDrive (which I think is the 'tech package'?), carbon fiber roof, and DCT. Will this car come with streaming Bluetooth Audio as well? Will the BMvin.info website tell me? I know that certain cars built after September 2010 were supposed to have some extra options but do ALL of them come with bluetooth audio?
What other 'essentials' from the factory am I missing? Mark |

You're buying this car used? Or looking for a new one on the dealer lot?
Heated seats sure are nice. I like the Enhanced stereo, myself. Cars produced after Sept 2010 with iDrive will have a Combox, which means Bluetooth functionality. |

I'd be buying used, and thanks for confirming the bluetooth feature on that. Never had streaming bluetooth in the car, really looking forward to my wireless tunes.
Heated seats.. Forgot about that. My truck has cloth seats so not a huge issue but great point. |

LOL, yeah dont forget the heated seats. One of the best and under rated options in my opinion. Plus it keeps the wife happy on cold days, hell even warmer days when its that time of the month

Agreed. You will wish you had it, but if you've never had them, perhaps one doesn't know any better. I live in Florida and use mine ALL the time. The heat is relaxing.

You need to know the build date of the car to know what packages and equipment it may have been equipped with, and you need to get a copy of the window sticker or contact BMW to know exactly what packages and options it actually was equipped with. |

A list of contents of the Technology Package, "ZTP", can be found here: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=345646 Note that for the first part of the 2011 model year, if the car doesn't have ZTP then it also doesn't have Comfort Access nor MDrive. Those two options were not available stand alone. It may still have Nav and EDC (if it has ZCP, it will have EDC for sure), since those were available as stand alone options (though curiously the Order Guide omits to mention the stand alone Nav option). Thus, you have to be careful making assumptions about what the car is equipped with by evaluating it at a glance. For a a 2011.5, things changed. See here: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=425533 (Can't find the PDF, but this will do for now) ZTP was discontinued, MDrive became standard, while EDC became available only via ZCP or stand alone. Comfort access and IDrive were moved to either ZP2 or ZCV (can't remember which for which). |

From introduction through the end of August 2010 production, the Tech Package included: M Drive EDC (also available standalone) Nav (also available standalone) Comfort Access For cars in this production range, confirmation of the Tech Package would be the M button on the steering wheel or Comfort Access. From September 2010 through the end of the 2011 MY, the Convenience Package (replacing the Tech Package) included: Nav (also available standalone) Comfort Access (not available standalone, but became available standalone for 2012) Alarm (also available standalone) PDC (also available standalone) M Drive became standard, and EDC was moved to the new Competition Package, as well as being available standalone. For cars in this production range, confirmation of the Convenience Package would be Comfort Access since it wasn't available any other way. For 2012's options, you can see the current BMW website.

Thanks guys, this gets me started. I guess before purchasing any plane tickets to travel to get this thing, I need to either run the VIN on the bmvin.info site or call a dealership..

You're right, I meant to type ZCV, not ZP2, for MY2011.

One correction - CA was never available stand-alone in the US until MY2012. So, if the car is a 2011 or earlier and it has CA then it also has the respective package (either ZTP or ZCV, depending on date of production). |

No, unfortunately VIRs are not available for public retrieval -- but any dealer who actually wants to make the sale should be happy to do it for you because it's quick and easy.

Wow, I just checked older Ordering Guides and you're right! I could've sworn that it was standalone option on the M3 back then -- guess it was just the normal 3 Series. Updated my previous post, thanks!
