new to the forum
Hi all. I will soon (July soon) be the owner of a e93 335i M-sport. I've been reading the forums for about a month or so now. Lots of useful and entertaining topics and so many great rides.
Greetings from Japan!! <-- the new way to bow here. |

Congrats and welcome to the best darn e90 serie specific community on the planet
Curious, what's the ordering process like in Japan? Did you order RHD or LHD, how does that work in pricing and availability? You have a lot of awesome parts/accessories available there

LHD. ordering is ok, but there are good and bad points. for example, comfort access, navigation, leather, & adaptive headlights are included. but logic 7 isn't. also, m-sport comes with blk lines and brush alum trim, but not allowed to change the trim.
all in all, a mixed bag. but service is super polite. of course the polite sales people don't lower the price.

doku: so in Japan, like in a lot of countries, the models come pre-packaged so not much in the way of choosing options etc.?
Its cool that they package the M-sports with blacklines. Does the LHD cost more than the RHD?

no difference in price, but resell is higher. used cars don't do well here, so they're usually shipped off to the middle east.
my current car is a 2006 mini S. it's RHD. it'll be strange to drive a LHD on the left side of the road though.

doku, thanks for answering my questions. I wasn't aware LHD cars hold their values better in Japan. Interesting...

I'm so happy I could get blacklines. As much as I like the look of the e93. having the chrome going around the back window (noticeable even when the top is up) was killing it for me. It looks good with other colors, but stands out too much on the blk sapphire

oh wait you meant the shadow/black trim...I thought we were talking about the blacklines OEM lights I forgot you were talking about the E93. I agree with the black trim the car would look sportier
