I got all of the items in the original post (premium, xenon, cold weather, sport, with black sapphire metallic exterior and leader dakota black/red highlight interior).

Dealer says it should be here end of February/first of march, so I'm playing the waiting game now.

Does anyone know if folding mirrors comes standard or with the premium package? Dealer rep didn't know that, but assumed it was so with the dimming mirrors.

Oh, i thought your car was in production. My car also says step 1 but that just means they received the order. I ordered 12/2 and i expect the car to enter production sometime in jauary with a late feb, early march delivery.

Do they show production codes on the website or do you have to call for them?

Would corona rings come with the sports package without xenons? It seems the the base without premium or xenons does not even have corona rings, but all of the lines seem to have corona rings at least. If I could get the sport without xenons but still get corona rings this could prevent me from having to get the premium package. Anyone have any insight?

gotta get a 335 for corona rings to be standard ... otherwise with the 328, doesnt matter what line you get, they need to be ordered as a separate line item

Are you sure about that? I'm not convinced that is the case. 328 with any line selected looks to have corona rings. Only the base car's headlight seem different.

look at the standard equip. 522 - xenon headlights (require -ZPP) $900 on the 328. standard on 335

Trust me, it does not come as part of any line but is an additional required cost for luxury and modern. Xenon comes as part of the ZPP package (which is required on modern and sport lines) which all the cars uve seen are equipped with ... so to break it down thats modern/luxury line + ZPP = xenons

OR u can just do the stand alone option at $900

if im not mistaken

I'm not quite sure modern or luxury includes xenons plus the requirement of premium without having to add on the xenons as an option.

i think the modern and luxury requie ZPP...so then it would only cost $950 for the xenons.

they require ZPP and so does Xenons. so either way, the bigger point is that u need ZPP to get xenons (apparently)

But there is no difference in the headlights structure between Sport, Modern or Luxury line......with or without ZPP/Xenons. So there are corona rings. The question is what light they illuminate.

yeah were gonna need to know this lol. I think they wouldn't jeopardize the look of the lines without coronas. But maybe they are willing to on the 328s, who knows.

So far based on images posted, only the base car has different headlight unit that clearly shows no corona rings. Once a Line is selected the headlight unit changes to include corona rings.

As I said before, the question is what light is illuminated from these corona rings. Clearly, with Xenons, the rings are just like on the F10 (LED corona rings?). What are the corona rings like without Xenons? Would they still be like on F10 (LED corona rings?) or would they be like on the current E90s?

I guess we will know only once the car is at dealer lots. Unfortunately, I suspect that all F30s at dealer lots in my area will have ZPP and Xenons, especially in the beginning.

Let us know if you hear anything. I don't see BMW putting ugly base lights on one of their lines, I do however see those not coming with xenons, which would be acceptable I guess. Even though a 30k car should have xenons standard like every other luxury car...
