320i: Bmw build website error??? M-Sport Bumper possible??

kromix · 11-29-2015, 10:48 AM

Ok so I'm helping a friend build a 320i, he's disapointed he can't get M-Sport on it for the body changes... (There is no M-Sport Package)

So when playing with the configurator if you add the M Performance Side sill decals for only $240 it changes the front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper to M-Sport? If so best $240 ever spent... Full M-Body kit for $240 lol

*Note the $830 Front Splitter-Black also changes the bumper...

Thoughts???

Likely a glitch. But hurry up and try to order before they figure it out. The new dealer configurator seems closely tied to the public one.

The web configurator always has a slew of bugs, so no - adding the side skirt decals will not get a car with the Msport kit.

The front lip probably is not actually an option on the 320 which would probably show up when they went to order and created the proper build sheet.

There have been many bugs over the years, when I was building my F30 I could not get it to build a superman car because of 1 option that would blow the whole thing up if it wasn't done in the correct order.

Yes, I've noticed this to. Once you add the msport front lip, it automatically adds the bumper. My dealer said if its on the site, he can order it. I don't believe him

It is a bug in the rendering logic would be my guess.

I suspect if you had an actual order from the dealer you would not see the M sport front bumper on the list.

He's gonna try it, will report back in 8 weeks

He doesn't need to wait 8 weeks. It should be obvious if the dealer shows him the order form.

Maybe they will start bringing it to this side of the Atlantic? In Europe you can get a 320i Msport no problem.

The front lip is a port installed accessory, like the grilles. I would imagine that if it got ordered, the car would show up at the port and end up with an M-sport lip shoved in the trunk. Or a dealer apology and a refund in 3 months.

Happy to be proven wrong though.

I thought he was ordering side sill decals? Either way, could be the same result.

My point was that if the order doesn't indicate that an M sport package or M sport front bumper is being added to the car than it isn't.

Either way, it will be interesting to see what BMW does with the order.
