Variable Sport Steering for 3 series GT
With the package reshuffling, I don't see Variable sport steering (previously part of the dynamic handling package which is no longer offered). I only see the M adaptive suspension.
Does anyone know if it been combined with something else or now standard? I can't imagine they dropped it. It's not listed as a standard feature. |

Noticed that style 704M wheels lists front wheels at 19x8" but has 255/40/R19 tire... that seems wide for front?? I'm assuming a typo but odd it would have made it this far?? Usually it's a 225/40/R19 I thought.

My 2018 340i will have these wheels and tires. The other interesting thing is the increased top speed limit or 840 is not listed on the order. My car is currently on a ship scheduled arrive on July 24 at the port |

Yeah I noticed another thread dedicated to the 704M wheels and the lack of '840 top speed increase' but no resolution yet.
On the tire size, I can't imagine anyone, let alone BMW, wrapping an 8" wheel in 255's. Then again, I'm not that knowledgeable on the matter so maybe there's another reason behind it ??? To confuse it more, I've also seen some pictures on here of 2018 440i's with the 704M and the fronts show 225/40... Either way, my 340i is also on order and the RFTs are coming off as soon as I can drive it to my mechanic...

I think the orbit grey 704M wheel will look real nice with Mineral Gray that I ordered The 704M has ferric grey and orbit grey on the 440. The ferric use 225 front and the orbit grey is 255 front on the 440 |

I still can't figure out the lack of 840 on the build order that was generated. Very odd I'm never going over 135 but still odd |

The other thing to remember is the order guides are not really supposed to be customer facing so they are probably less sensitive to typos in the copy. Not saying it's top secret material but the intent is for dealer staff |

It has to be a typo... there is just no way it's a 255 on the front of that one specific wheel set and none of the other 19" wheels.
Also nealh good choice on the mineral grey and 704M... exactly what I ordered. What interior did you go with? I went black dakota with oyster highlights and aluminum dark carbon.

So I decided to change it up. Mineral Grey with anthracite wood and Oyster Dakota. Also ordered the black kidney grille and carbon fiber spoiler By the way did your order have 840 on it? |

The odd thing on 840 is the code to remove the top speed limit increase is not there either and 840 is part of the m sport. The orbit grey 704M on the 4series get 840. It's truly nutty with the 3 series. Just might not be showing due to early order but we could still get it??? |

Even though they fall under the same "genius" banner, contacting the corporate group at BMWNA is usually much fruitful than the dealership genius staff. they are not one in the same in terms of available information.

i know! what's up with that? i started looking at a 2017 about a month ago and only recently learned they can't build them anymore despite 2017 models still being featured on bmw.ca. reading through the forums it seems like they haven't been making them for a while... probably trying to push what 2017s they still have on the lots but there are literally no RWD 6MT in Canada and that's all i'd be interested in. dealers are telling me they can order 2018s but they're still not up on the website.
