M-Sport Package (No Black High Gloss Interior Trim?)

Zirenz2006 · 01-26-2009, 09:45 PM

Has anyone in the US tried to order the M-Sport Package with Black High Gloss trim?

The configurator won't allow it. Is BMWNA actually going to be this stupid and not allow someone who wants the M-Sport package to get that interior trim?

What could possibly be the purpose of that decision??!?!?

This has been discussed at length here. The answer is no, unlike other markets where you get a choice, in the US we don't.

Oh wait, sorry. I thought you were talking about the exterior window trim. I have Piano Black on my 128i and really like it.

Doesn't it come with it?

Zirenz2006 · 01-27-2009, 06:57 AM

No, on the configurator if you select the M-Sport pack and try to add High Gloss Black interior trim, it says you must deselect M-Sport package.

What does it default to? Aluminum?

You can either choose Aluminum or one of the Two Wood grain options

I was able to get that configuration on mine, Mine was ED, I'm guessing that is the reason why this was possible.

Nope! My 135 is not an 08 its an 09

Dodo · 01-28-2009, 05:00 PM

Sorry, I meant BSM_135i. Based on his statement/sig he has an 08 w/ m-sport in California. Unless it's an import I gotta raise the flag on that

***** Flag on the play! Lets review!

Ok, let's! M Sport Package (ZMP) in the US was not available until model year 09. In fact it was not even available to early 09 models.

Back on topic, the dealer ordering guide shows the following notes for ZMP:

"381 must be ordered with ZMP"
"4AT cannot be ordered with ZMP"

For those not fluent in production codes 381=LeMans Blue, 4AT=High Gloss Black Trim.

Believe me, I wanted it also. My spec was LeMans, Savannah, Gloss Black. I had to change to the Grey Poplar, but maybe I will swap once I get it.

I don't think that is true. I was able to order an AW 135i with ZMP.

Temple · 01-28-2009, 08:42 PM

I think its the other way around. That color only comes with ZMP.

That looks really sharp!! Better with the red leather than the silver trim.
