I stand by it, the stuff could easily be put on at final assembly or at the dealer. Yeah it's slightly more work but it's easy money. If that was the case for my new 335i, they would have sold a PE and some uprated wheels, and it's not a stretch to say many others would make the same choice.

Also, may I re-emphasize my point about 6MT drivers having to subsidize auto trans and getting nothing in return. That is an awful an infuriating practice.
