Differences between US et EU models, including seats ?
Hello
First, excuse me for the syntax errors, i am not an English speaker. I noticed on your US models that you don't have the "same" stock seats (entry level) Here, the "standard" model is Alcantara/Sensatec and I think that with you it's only Sensatec (charged extra at 160 Euros here)? On the US configurator, I didn't see the M Sports seats either. However, on the European configurator, they are indicated at 1000 Euros (approximately depending on the country) but it is mandatory (!!!) to take the leather (only black and blue or cognac) and the electric seats to have them.. That is around 3450 Euros to have them! I also saw that you have a long amber turn signal on the lateral side in the front, which doesn't seem to exist on the European model (which I prefer).

- front headlight get a small corner yellow light - slightly different break and flasher pattern in the tail light (no amber bar). I personally prefer the Euro spec There are also small changes between US and Canadian spec like M side badge and M performance seat belt. |

The front side amber corner lights and reflectors are required by US regulations and basically no where else (it’s one of the few places where US lighting regulations are tougher than ROW), so you see that with all vehicles. There is a red corner light in the rear along with a red side reflector in the taillight housing as well.
North American 2 series have the sunroof standard, although you can delete it (on the 230i only for now) to save some money. North American M240is has the adaptive suspension standard, European models have the M suspension (also found on 230i M Sport models) standard. |

I may not have specified, but I'm talking about the 240.
Canada seems to be like Europe, the configuration tool is similar too. I may not have specified, but I'm talking about the 240. Here (Europe), the M suspension is standard and the adaptive is a paid option. On the other hand, I seem to have seen that you (US) have the standard electric seats (here around 1000 Euros) I seem to have seen that the red brake calipers were free whereas here they are at 600 Euros (for the same size I guess, just the color that changes) Personally, I find it prettier without the front side amber corner lights and reflectors. I think in the US you have more options on the basic model |
