MP, I agree it makes no sense. All of our previous 8 BMWs were able to achieve heat through the rear console even when equipped without a rear climate package.

From your description sounds more like the speed limit warning and not the speed detection. Speed detection is more of a square with the speed inside.

I could be mistaken but I do not think you can combine MSD's and one pay leases. And I also thought the default MF is in effect for pre-paid, you do not get the discounted MF on one pay leases. No?

I'll make it short and sweet....dont payment shop.

The monthly payment will be what it is. No mark up on ACQ fee, no mark up on MF, agreed amount over invoice, and misc fees is all that's needed.
