You are certainly right about that. But a limited number of options also has its risks. I know for sure that features like the RES or night-vision or the full leather were deciding factors why I picked this vehicle over another one. We all know that the majority of these options are also 'overpriced' and therefore, even if only a limited number of customers pick them, were still profitable. I have a feeling that COVID had a major impact on these decisions because taking options off their luxury model is not really 'BMW-like'.
I would also like to know why BMW is still offering full leather, night-vision and the RES on the Aplina XB7 for MY21. Is it more likely that these options will be picked on that vehicle and not on a M50i? I don't know...
