It's more than just paddle shifters! It's a different looking (better looking) gear selector and more importantly enhanced for lightning fast shifts in sport mode. "Must have" option since your build appears to include all the options for driving enhancements and performance.

Are the quick shifts on the sport transmission when using paddles only or all the time regardless?

From the posts I have read it is incredibly fast to shift, rivaling if not exceeding the speed of a dual clutch transmission.

Nice setup. Congrats! ZAS? No Performance summer tires? You will get a squared setup and deletes increased speed limiter. I have 6MT but +1 on the sports auto. I have it on my wife's 528 and really like it

Did you also have your CA price out the M Sport Line? It was only around $25/mo more to add it for my car. It's almost worth it just for the sumptuous steering wheel
Haha, I am probably being worse than your salesman! I should get some of his commission! Feel free to ignore me, it is after all your car and not mine

Not sure why but the M-sport hasn't done much for me. I'm very happy with the look of mineral gray sport line. I'm doing a 3 year lease so won't be in this car for 10 years like I was my 2002 325i. My hope is I'll fall in love with the LCI M-Sport 3 years from now when I need to lease again. |

Is it possible for the performance delivery center to do tinting prior to my pickup or will dealership need to do it?
