What Accessories/Parts do you want you Dealer to have?

[Harleyduo]

Cruise control...for those two hour freeway drives to the nearest dealer for servicing.

[BimmerDob]

Brabus wheels and body panels. Bolt on engine upgrades and suspension bits. Cruise control, agree a great way to avoid speeding tickets ;-)

Snow tires, though I expect Tire Rack to get into a market with 30K customers next year or two ;-)

[Smart_ABQ]

smartUSA just informed me that the 9 spoke alloy wheels are the only ones available for the passion. I don't care for them and kinda like the 12 spoke ones that are on the black/silver model on the homepage. Any thoughts of dealers having optional wheels? I plan on asking them when they open since I am pretty far down the list anyways.

Brother Smart ABQ long before you and I get our cars the market will be full of options for the wheels... Dealers are only going to have access to the MB sourced stuff and most of it is just as boring as the ones we get

Stay tuned I am on top of this as I need, want, will have wider wheels and tires

Be prepared for sticker shock though as nobody will have any discount stuff the first few years

I would really like to see satallite radio to be offered. Preferably XM since they are based in DC

[eqwalker]

Did anyone mention lug nut covers, so they won't be exposed as I have seen (and rust)?

[WillyNilly]

Every Texan needs a gun rack across the back window.

I know this goes against the best mileage principle, but a remote start would be nice.

I have remote start on all of my vehicles, and while I don't use it that often, when I do, it is really nice.

I really want to buy the PDF version of the service manual. I live 2.5 hours from the dealership.

I too would like a shop manual I get one for any vehicle I plan on keeping

It will probably be available as a DVD/CD pretty soon. You can find lots on eBAY UK right now for the 450.
