Can anyone confirm that Vernasca leather is required when ordering M Sport, Premium and Executive? It seems like when I enable M Sport and Premium, no leather is required. Ticking Executive for some reason forces Leather. I can't make sense of this logic from looking at the ordering guide.

Too bad we cannot choose the Glacier Silver with M Sport Pack, cannot wait to see it (this summer) in Frozen Gray with the M Sport Pack. Mineral Gray is too dark and Dravit Gray is not my cup of tea, I saw it at the dealer on the 8-series.

The configurator drives me nuts, just when you think you have it the way you want it changes the color or blocks you from the interior you want! Anyway been away from this forum for a while, but seems to be more activity here. I still have my E90 with 168,000 miles and she’s still going strong. No major issues and had the valve cover and gasket changed around 15,000 miles ago. The oil housing gasket just started to leak so that is next to have fixed. The F30 never did it for me and I can’t wait to test drive the G20. My problem is I still love my E90 as it still rides and runs like new.

Unless you are currently driving a 323i or higher I recommend taking the G20 for a test drive, you will be pleasantly suprised.

Dropped off my e90 for an oil change and they had a loaded Portimao
Blue 330 sitting in the showroom. Absolutely Gorgeous. Didn’t have time for a test drive, but will soon.

As for the price increases...BMW is not a charity, it's a business. They don't owe us anything. There are other brand cars people can buy.
And yet they will let you build a car with an ugly color combination... It would be much easier to sell a base model with HK audio than a car with bad color combo.

Then they don't end up with a bunch of weird configs sitting on the showroom floor. Its probably why they have eliminated a ton of weird combos as it is (when i bought my 2013 328i m-sport.... one dealer got stuck with an estoril blue car, with red seats, and wood trim ..... that someone decided not to follow through on their order.... now that car isn't even possible..)

I mean in this case theres bound to be a car that ends up being a stripper with h&k on it and say no navigation or aany other options. A car that for most people buying a lease special stripper, would just be $900 more expensive for a stereo your average get the cheapest least person doesn't want to pay for.

If BMW had some sort of custom order that they contractually could make you buy or ordering was more like europe then I'd guess we could order whatever it is we want. I'd wish they would at least let you do that for euro delivery or something since you have to pay for the car before you go in that case.
The main problem is BMW allows weird combos. They have Sport Line, Luxury, M-Sport. Then you have 4-5 different packages, and after that there are "Options". Out of all the car manufacturers I have found that BMW has the most confusing build configuration. My opinion is that they are doing this intentionally to nickle and dime the consumers. It seems better now with the G20, but the F30 was horrible. I think competition from the Audi A4 forced them to provide better standard features.

Yes G20 configuration is an improvement over F30, but still not very good imo.

2018 F30 had it right with 340s. A lot of the stuff is standard besides all the paranoid safety features, leather and nav. However I remember building f30 335i and that was a pain
