Malaysia only got the 328i sport line introduced today when that country uses mostly diesels. Don't you wonder who is making decisions for which GT models get introduced into the various countries? It seems like one should be able to get the exact model variation when custom ordering from the factory since they all come off the same assembly line. Having been to the BMW factory in SC, I've seen the assembly line where a gas engine X6 with sport wheels headed for Europe is directly followed by an X5 diesel luxury line for local delivery. The robots and computers can make any variant without hesitation based on the order # programmed into the system. My choice - I'll have a red Modern Line GT 320d with saddle interior (no xdrive) with all the gadgets. But the BMW gods say "We can easily make it for you, but won't ship it to the US. How 'bout an xdrive sport with red coral interior?"
