Did you check the prices on the cars over there? I believe they pay a good bit more than we do.

This is the exact reason we cannot have an a la carte system. BMW NA doesn't allow it as their dealer network would be stuck with combos of options/colors not many people would want, and they are also trying to protect their premium brand image by not allowing lesser interiors (cloth) here.
