And to make matters worse, this has served to severely limit the options available to the buyer, causing most buyers to have to compromise from what they really want.

Don't get me wrong--I'm really glad that you were able to get car that you love within the confines of what the Sport Line offers, but for most of us, we're spending around $50K on a car and are unable to configure it exactly the way we want... Not to mention getting robbed for an extra $2K, just for the "privilege" of having access to the options we want!

Sorry for the rant... It's just that I've been a BMW enthusiast for nearly 20 years, I'm about to order an F30, and it's seriously annoying that I can't get exactly what I want for no reason other than a profit-boosting scheme.

Now, onto the weekend...
so what are you going to get colors/options on your F30?
