That's what makes this almost unique. Here's mine ;-)

The M-sport line really does force some maddening concessions, like the loss of red contrast stitching you mention, losing out on over half the exterior colors, etc. In Europe they get the M-sport-specific cloth/alcantara seats that really make the M-sport unique, but BMWNA decided not to bless us with those.

At least the 2016 models allow Saddle leather with M-sport, but not being able to spec the awesome new Mediterranean Blue is a bummer. EBII is too light for my tastes.

I agree; that alcantara/blue stitching in the Euro cars is quite special. I think it would have sold well here, but I don't work for BMW and their research probably stated otherwise.

Couple of more shots from this weekend (these were with my Nokia Lumia 1520):

Great look! Could you also PM me the link? I was also wondering how the front bumper clearance is with the M performance splitter (which is the main thing holding me back from doing this mod as I don't want to hear my bumper scrape a speed bump every other time I go over one).

The two-tone spoiler is honestly my favorite part.

Thanks! PM Sent. With stock sport suspension (Sport Line non-X-Drive), there is about 5" of clearance. Hasn't been an issue yet, but can't pull in too far to parking spaces or you'll run into the curb. Not really an issue for me as I don't pull that far in anyway.
