R57: Things you may not have known

I've had my R57 (non-S) for a week now and I'm starting this thread to benefit interested 'vert folks. Here's what I've learned so far:

- US cars are delivered with no spare tire. However, (for non-S only!) the mounting bolts are under the car so you can add the tray, spare and hardware to mount the compact spare in the usual (R56 non-S) spot.

- Bluetooth Microphone is now located on the steering column by the wiper stalk.

- Suspension is a little bit softer than the R56 for both the standard and sport suspensions.

- Bike Rack Prep is no longer available, but the first batch of 'verts do have it (if ordered that way). No one knows if/when a bike rack will be available or what the future alternative will be.

- Black Mirror Caps no longer appear on the configurator.
