Official goodbye to SGM

earlyMLC · 08-25-2008, 01:20 AM

SGM no longer available on the www.bmw.com.au configurator site for 135 - goodbye dear friend, I have enjoyed the many configurator sessions with you ,... sniff sniff.

I guess that's a hint regarding the new iDrive then. Glad I ordered SGM and will have it in a few weeks. Good timing to Australian BMW - Not.

Picking up my SGM today. :biggrin:

Yup, SGM fans ... we've dodged a bullet!

I ordered my car as a SGM but they sent an auto instead of a manual. Had to re-order and I just got a call the other day telling me that SGM isn't available anymore and the car is coming as Space Grey. Disappointed as I really like SGM and I can't find any pics of a 135 in Space Grey yet either...

I wanted SGM when I first looked at getting a 1 series... Oh well - I hear Havana brown is a new option for the coupe/vert from AutoClassic here in Perth...

Nice! My sparkling graphite 135i Coupe should be on the ship in a week or two. Expected delivery date is 24th October although I suspect (and hope!) it might be a week earlier than that.

I have ordered a SGM 135i vert and delivery is 'mid October',... whatever that means. I will be P*#$ED as hell if my dealer does the dirty and delivers a automatic instead of a manual and does the bait and switch to a space grey,...yuck!

I wonder how many were produced/shipped Stateside. Makes for a more limited edition.
