Yet another feature that BMW can make money on.
Paddles and some altered software for the trans = $500
Come on already!
Then, if you want xenon's in your 328i, it's not just the extra $900.
You also have to pay for the $3600 premium package.
Ridiculous!
Since the prem pkg is required to get xenons, why not just bundle the freaking xenon's into the expensive prem. pkg. and then lower the overall price of the xenon's within the pkg? Make the prem pkg $4000 and include the xenons.
It's called "incentive" to purchase something you may not want to.
Bad decision on BMW's part.
328i and 335i, Once optioned as equal as possible, the price difference isn't even $4000.
When reading all the info before the actual launch of this new 3 series, I thought that a 328i sport with premium pkg. would make for a great value to get a BMW sport sedan, if one doesn't want or need the 300/300 power of the 335i.
As I prefer to lease, it really doesn't make sense for me to get a 328i, other than slightly better MPG.
Also, they bring a new, high tech, costly 8spd auto, that is included in the price. Yet, MT drivers don't even get a break when not selecting the AT. Jeez.
At least give MT customers wider tires and unique wheels, or something.
Basically, if we choose a MT we get nothing for paying the same price as the costlier new AT.
