According to wikipedia "The SE trim level included the options the ES trim level was given, but added cruise control as part of the multi-function steering wheel, headlight washers, parking sensors, leather steering wheel and gearknob.^[21]"

I'm picking up me 318i SE on Monday and I don't think it had parking sensors or cruise control... Or was I just in such a hurry to leave a deposit I didn't notice?

are we taliing the e46 mate?

It is an e46 sorry, 2000 Vreg, but definitely an SE, that's what comes up when I enter the numberplate into insurance. I have a picture of the back and you can't see the little circles that indicates there's sensors there... Unless BMW hide them for aesthetics.

Also wikipedia says multifunction steering wheel comes as standard on all SE's but looking on autotrader there are a few the say they're SE with the bog standard steering wheel. I pretty sure my V reg SE doesn't have these lovely toys (I pick it up tonight so I'll soon find out)

i dont think a 318 will have these toys.318's are the base models with the 316's.i may be wrong though.my 323 is an se and it has all the toys but my mates 318 that is a year newer hasnt got anything....like i say though i may be wrong.let me know how you get on mate.get some pics up

They are available as extras, and I think a few years later the SE models come with them as standard. But yeh, I'm not hopeful mine will either, I'll know tomorrow night :D

This is only my second car anyway, will keep this 318i for 18 or so months then look to move to an E90 or something nicer :-) My dad and I have always been BMW men.

I made the mistake of buying a 318ci once, and it did have those fitted.
