Hi everyone,

I am a proud owner of a v35 coupe in New Zealand for the past 2.5 years and is now thinking of upgrading to a v36 coupe.

I have been doing my research on the internet but is struggling to find the actual features and specs for the different type of v36.

As such, I am just keen to get some help from everyone here on the following:-

1) Apart from leather seats, what are the additional features that you can get from a type P as compared to the base model?

2) With the type S, I know it doesn't have the leather seat but come with paddle shift and 19 inch wheels instead as compared to the type P. However, apart from this are there anything that the Type P has that the Type S doesn't?

3) How significant is the different between a Type S and Type SP? I understand that Type SP has leather seat and the Bose sound system. But apart from this, what's the different between the Type S and Type SP?

4) Does any of the variant comes with cruise control? From some website, it seems like it cruise control is an optional feature but the dealer I am looking at to help me do the import process tells me that the coupe doesn't come with cruise control.

At the moment, I am pretty keen on a type SP but prices are a little steep and probably just over my budget. Hence, I am thinking of looking into the type P or type S as I am not really fuss about having full leather seat or just partial leather or having a Bose sound system. I do hope that I can have the paddle shift and cruise control options.

I have tried looking in the forum for the detail breakdown of options and features for each variant but can't seems to have any luck finding too much details, hence the new post.

I do apologise if there is already a post for this and would appreciate anyone's help in directing me to the appropriate post / website.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Cheers!

Loh

Hi! Thanks for this! I recall finding this before a while back when I was researching for my v35 and comparing it with the v36. For some reasons I must have missed it this round or could have been the key words I used. But thanks for the tip! Another question I have is does the car has the option for cruise control in all variant or it's more an after market add-on by Chris? Thanks!

Thanks for the update Chris! Looks like it's going to be pretty hard finding a car with cruise control then! Normally what's the cost of the kit? Can I get the kit here in Auckland or can you send a set from Australia across and I get someone locally to fit it? Or do you have any contacts who can do this? Thanks!

Hi people, another quick questions on the v36.

Does the car comes standard with the on-board hard disk, SD card slot, ipod integration and bluetooth? I was looking on a review of the G37 on cnet and it was saying that the hard disk and SD slot comes with the sat nav system. Is that true for the v36? Is the features standard for each variant of the car?

Please advise!

Thanks!

Thanks Al! Hmmmm..... sounds like the Sat Nav will have quite a bit of other use as I would love to have 9gb of HDD to store my music although the ipod integration might solve that problem anyway but I do recall reading somewhere on the forum saying it's probably best not to have the sat nav for some other reason.....

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.

      Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
