Thanks Craig
What I am really interested in which options are available for each model and what the prices are.
From what you are saying it would seem that there is little or no change, can anyone confirm if this is the case.

My dealer was happy to go with the current price list except for DAB which is now standard for a 12MY0.

Good info - thanks.
I note from the image that "High Beam Assist" has been deleted. Assuming that this is now an option (and not that the technology is useless), what experience do people have of this function? Would it be worth it as as option?
When looking at the 2012 spec sheet at my local dealer (he refused to let me photograph it!), there was a pack called "Bright" or "Visibility" (I forget which) that included the surround cameras, cornering lights and maybe now the high beam assist.
I will ask the question!

I was not at all impressed with high beam assist (had a D4 HSE for 2 weeks).
Wouldn't pay £0.01 for it

i wouldnt pay for HBA - youll end up switching it off or have too keep overiding it anyway - which is probably why its been deleted..Duncan

Does anyone know what is going on with the Logic 7 system that has been deleted from the 2012 model? Is it being replaced with a better ICE system?!
Thanks

As I understand it, the standard Hi-Line system is just under 400w and the Premium is simply ridiculous wattage. So, new Hi-Line is much better than before.

As much as i wanted high beam assist to work, it didn't on bendy roads. You ended up having to override too often which meant your hand was always prepared to drop the the beam which defeated the purpose. Sometimes, it would drop just as you were dropping it and you ended up flashing the car in front.
It was fine on straight and level roads but suffered on some bends (long shallow bends where you see the beam well in advance before the actual light is seen) and on dual carriage ways where there is a wider than normal gap between the two sides (e.g. trees in the middle or hedges or just grass even). The side barriers could block the light from the other side for the sensor at certain angles.
If you were very rural it would be ok for the number of times it doesnt get it right (norfolk roads not being rural enough). it would be better if you could turn it on/off quicker. Having to do it via the menu is not ideal.

Did they give you a date for delivery, and did they charge you the current price or the "revised" ie increased prices???????
