My F30 sport line has sport seats, wheels, black headliner, red stiching, different kidneys, the sport bumper trim, suspension, red key fob, black window trim, black chrome exhaust tips, door sills, and sport+ mode.

At $2500 it's really alot for the money IMO.
Remember that the lines specification is different for the various markets, so costs are related to those variations.

Our sport line in the UK is £1000 (sterling) above the normal SE model, for a given engine spec', so looks very good value, but we don't get sport suspension, only as a further option. It is all so variable.

Stock 'lines' in the UK still need many of the option boxes ticked, to get a decent specced car.
