I am thinking about switching to a no-line, Mineral White, Tan Interior, Lighting Package, Heated Seats, Moonroof, and adding the Adaptive M Suspension. Then buying the Style 397 wheels somehow. The downside is then I am loosing the sport seats and sport steering wheel.

Thoughts? Help!

If you only value seats and wheels from the sport package (ZSL), save your money.

My ZSL 335i was in the shop recently and my loaner was a no-line 328i. Beyond the engine differences, these are two completely separate cars.

ZSL also gives you the M Sport Suspension (at least here in the US). It's far more important than any of the cosmetic parts of the package, thought I think those pieces are worth the prices, especially the black headliner.

You can get it with oyster, but the better look is individual cashmere IMHO

[Geojohn5]

I don't think oyster is available in the sport line in the US.

If anyone is considering the M Sport Supsension I advise you to forget about it and simply choose the M Adaptive -it´s just that much better! Firmer in Sport and almost 5er-like in Comfort. Both suspension and steering are affected, VSS only changes steering ratio and not feedback so you don´t have to get both unless you crave it.

Someone mentioned Sport+ coming with the M Adaptive, this is wrong as Sport+ has nothing to do with it. It comes with the Sport Automatic, with or without any special suspension.

For MY2013, you have to get VSS included as a part of a package with M Adaptive.

Hmmmm.... (confused face)

I've ordered a 330d M Sport (due in march in the UK) with the variable sports steering upgrade - but i don't remember ever being offered M Adaptive....

I assume mine will come with just M Sport suspension and not M Adaptive then?

Am I missing something exciting here?

I think it's different markets Cultivate. They have different 'packages' in the US. Over here in the UK they're quite separate.

He's talking about the US.

You´re right, forgot that you guys are only able choose the package and not the single option. But I think it´s always been like that, not only for MY13?

I should have clarified, US-specific.

I think for MY2012, you could order VSS separately.

I´m afraid you are

[Cultivate]

Aha I see it now on the BMW configurator now. £515 (approx $1000) for this upgrade.

Who thinks its worth the money?

[Cultivate]

Actually, I regret asking that question now.

Base with adaptive m or sport line? That's where I am at.

two entirely different situations and feels.

Sport line with adaptive should be the option!

[Geojohn5]

What would be different feel between base with adaptive and sport with adaptive?? Both are same suspension. Ignoring the wheels

You don't get sport seats, steering wheel, and can't get sport auto.
