Angry Why do they do things like this

After the umteenth time though the configurator (US & CDN)
I noticed that the sport seats *don't* come with the lumbar support,
*unless* you order the premium pkg.

What the hell does lumbar suport have to do with *premium*
For me... the main reason I order the *sport* pkg is to get the good seats.... now I find out you don't get the whole thing unless you order premium as well :mad: :mad: :mad:

I know~
but you can always pay the 500CAD premium to special order an option.

Thanks...I guess I'll look into it.
Do you know if it's $500/ea item?

I really didn't want to bother with premium;
Since I'll be doing a custom Alcantara job, I don't need the Dakota.

Hot Damn.... C_L you gave me a brain wave & saved me some $$....

If I special order the sport seats, I don't need to order the sport pkg. either.
Since I'll be going with aftermarket wheels, I really don't want the 189s that c/w the sport pkg.
The other benefit is I'll get the 17" 185s, which I can use for snows

Why can you get a heated steering wheel on a X3 non sport and can't get it with sport and why can't you get the HW on a 3 series ? I guess it doesn't have to make sense !

You won't get the sports suspension without ZSP either. Car might ride a little high.

Forget about heated steering wheel, I want airconditioned one!
