Luxury because of same reason as OP Noor

Sport line with a retrofitted m sport front bumper. I love the red stitched interior, i cant get enough of looking at it. Not a fan of the blue at all on msport.

The whole "line" thing is cosmetic.

Other than sport seats and sport suspension, the sport line has it's own cosmetics as well.

That's the one feature I really wanted in the Msport.
Red stitching on black leather would have been MUCH nicer in my Msport.
BMW can suck it for limiting interior material and color options.

Do you mean you don't like the estoril color on the Msport?
My Msport doesn't have any blue outside or inside.
I'm sure the estoril Msport buyers would have liked blue stitching on their seats, but again, BMW blew that one too.

  • Luxury
  • Sport
  • Modern
You forgot Msport in your choices.
Should probably include "base" as well.

Yup not purely cosmetic like the other lines, just partly.

M Sport Line - have to have sport seats + sport susp, and the M Sport bumpers, side sills, & steering wheel improve the looks in my (our) opinion over Sport Line, the only other way in US to get sport seats from the factory. Also wanted wood trim and wide rear tires.

I got a Luxury Line with Sport Seats, Sport Auto and Paddle Shifters. Probably only possible on the 335i?

Same things others have said for getting the Sport Line.
  1. Sport Seats
  2. Lowered Suspension.
  3. Loved the boy-racer interior treatment with the red stitching and red trim across the dash.

Yes, I just dont like the blue on the dash as much as the red. But thats just my personal preferance, to me red on black especially the red stitching just looks so damn sexy.

I mean I got what I wanted, I love my car. Ill put the cherry on top when I get the m-sport front bumper and Ill love it even more. As for the m sport side skirts, eh i can live without those, but that m sport bumper is just not for me...I love the sport line way better.

drove a base, a luxury 335 stick and a sport line... bought the sport because of the suspension, the sport seats, the black trim (had chrome on my audis and was sick of it oxidizing over time) and I liked the black exhaust tips too.

Note: I wanted saddle colored interior and couldn't get it in a sport so I settled for the black... but it wasn't my first choice... also don't really like the red stripe in a 50K+ car but it does fit my age bracket so its not that big of a deal

Totally agree (costmetic crap for the most part) and think it's just a way to tack on a couple grand to the bottom line.

BMW should have done a better job with the side and rear on the Msport.
But, I'll bet it will look at lot better in person than in pictures.
You'll have to take a look when mine gets here.

I didn't want the blue dash piece either. To me, it only goes with the EB color, maybe silver, but there is nothing else in the interior that would accent, compliment or go with the blue strip. If BMW did blue stitching on the seats, that would have been much better.

I do like the red strip and seat stitching better as it works well together, and goes with more exterior colors as well.
I opted for alum hex w/black strip.
The Msport look and that steering wheel sold me, plus having staggered wheels/tires in 18", along with the cool M wheels.

OH that m steering wheel is just out of this world! Its def hot!. I wont be doing that upgrade, itll be way to expensive with the air bag, plus it wont come with red stitching. So ill just do the m sport front bumper.

Let me know when yours comes in I would love to see it in person. And youre right pics dont do these cars justice at all! What was the color you got again?
