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.

WRONG ... ur overly complicating this

Any proof?

Go look at the BMW configurator. There are no specific options to select. Only base car, Lines and M-Sport plus different exterior colors and wheels. Look at how the headlight unit changes from the base car to any selected line. There are clearly corona rings in that unit. Why would they be there if there is no ZPP/Xenons option added?

dont look at the configurator, look at the official ordering specs/guide thats in the sticky.

u cant trust the configurator - its not built to show u how u can order your car - especially since ur not even looking at the bmwusa.com site because theres isnt up yet and even then, they are known to not be accurate at times.

trust the official paperwork. anything else at this early stage is just them still working haphazardly to get their marketing shit together worldwide ... especially w US specs.

i went through this process when i bought my 335 when they first came out and my 328is before that. online config didnt jive with what paperwork said, SA confirmed it at the dealership

I never said lines give you Xenons automatically. I said corona rings. The unknown was if the corona rings were in the headlight unit even without Xenons.

The image (which I hadn't seen before) posted by justinnum1 makes clarification on that subject now. It looks like we need to select Xenons in order to get corona rings in the headlight unit. So now I'm even more disappointed that Xenons are not available as stand-alone option on the 328i. And I'm hoping that in a couple of years time BMW makes some changes regarding that.

Yea, i wish the xenon was just a standalone option, it would be a no brainer that way. But considering i dont want/need ZPP, i am not spending $4600 for xenons/rings. Whatever, i buy the car because how it drives, I got ZSP, so i will make some good mixes and forget all about the lights.

Besides the stitching, did anyone else notice the Sportline seats look exactly the same as the regular seats? Is it possible all seats are now the same except for looks?

Hello...I wanna get F30 Euro Delivery 328i Luxury line in red metallic, with Premium package, cold weather package, technology package, xenons, bmw assist with Bluetooth, bmw app.When I did config on bmwconfig.com it gave me invoice price of 41,690 (with destination fee)...Is there any other fees that dealer should charge me?? Is it fair if I offer 42500 to dealer….That's almost 1000 over invoice….And then I just pay for taxes and license plates over that 42500, right? This is first time that I'm buying new car in US, so I would appreciate some help….Thanx
