In Canada, sport seats come standard on all 335i and they are an $800 option for non-Sportline 328i.

1. staggered summer performance tires and wheels (replace the otherwise crappy square all seasons that come on all other Canadian F30) for better traction, handling and braking; 2. the possibility to add Adaptive M suspension (not otherwise available in Canada) for suspension upgrade; 3. the possibility to add factory M Sport brakes (larger front rotors and Brembo callipers front and rear) for even better braking performance. These brakes are not available in the USA. You may perhaps think that the M Sport steering wheel is also "bling", but it is by far the best looking wheel (and to touch as well) that BMW currently offers on any model.

This.
After seeing the MSport front end, I finally liked the front end of the F30. MSport sealed the deal. Wish there were no exterior M badges, replacing the wheels took care of that. Quote:

I see all points... but the thing about it is... I want the luxury and sport. And I cant get both. BMW won't let it happen. Kind of a sad thing since the f30 is a remarkable car. |

As for the seats, quit asking strangers about them, it's your own ass, no ours. |

IS the ride height the same? I thought sport was lower? On a xi, is there even a difference? |

I have sport seats, and the only red in the car is on my steering wheel where I can barely see it.

Decided to STICK with sportline. Thanks everyone for the contribution! I think the sport seats really were the deciding factor. I wanted to get back into a 6 speed manual, BMW. If I didnt get sport seats, and the nice black headliner, I think I might have regretted the puchase slightly.
What I find difficult is BMW doesn't give you everything you want in each line, but when you do find the right compromises, it can turn out okay. A year looking at this car, I finally grasped a look I really want. When the M3 comes out, i think it will be love at first sight. Except no issues with options, colors or even performance (rwd is it). |

I went without sport seats on a C300 I just got rid of for my F30 after about 10 years with sport seats on several cars and I'll never do I again. That said, those Mercedes seats were AWFUL for reasons beyond just not having the side bolsters.

Glad you came to the right decision for you, I personally got the sport line for the seats, the wheels, the black and red accents (my car is AW so the black and red accent it nicely) and the last reason? Sport transmission, I ordered 6MT but it wouldn't have been in for like 6 months due to overbooking so I went with the sport AT and honestly love it... Thankfully I also have a stick in the garage so I don't have withdrawals haha

BUt same can be said of the 6 speed manual. Its so well done, its really a joy to row. And in some ways, the control you get with engine braking is a blast to carve any fun street or valley. |
