The black headliner alone is worth $200 IMO. Has anyone on here in the US actually ordered a 135i with the M-Sport package yet?

many have placed orders but I am pretty sure no one has taken delivery on one here in the US. There is a thread on this topic.

Nice touch - all M rims have that. Very subtle (which I like), yet for the discriminating eye it is noticeable!

I'd think it would definitely make some more people step up for the add'l $200. An odd marketing choice - anyone know if it's fully disclosed on other countries' sites?
Outside the US, all these things are standalone items, which you can order a-la-cart which is great. Here BMW USA rapes you into paying close to $4K in getting the Premium package if all you need is 1/3 of the small features such as bluetooth, dimming mirrors, etc. For example, in other cars you cannot order a standalone rear window shade, you have to buy a 2K package that has things you don't really need... Yeah BMW, expoit the US consumer!

Keep in mind, we generally pay a lot less in the US for our Bimmers.

No doubt the US pays way less for their BMW's so they're going to get you on options. And, the M-Sport package contents in Canada is a package and we cannot order the pieces individually. The M-Sport package cost me $1600.
