Sport seats only - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Has anyone in here been able to get the sports seats without the other sports package items in the US? If so how much more did you pay?

Sorry Natalia, I don't see it being listed separately in the Options price list. Doesn't mean it's not possible though.

Why don't you want the entire SP?

IMO, if nothing else, you should at least get SP.

Can't be done. I've even spoken to the BMW corporate big shots! They claim a BMW has a cetain image and woun't do anything for sport appearance without the sport handling equipment to back it up. (Yet in Europe you can order sport items separately!) So I ordered the sport package-- so far I do not have regrets. At $1440 (dealer cost) its not that expensive. Sport seats in Europe alone are about half of that- and the package has other good stuff (better steering wheel, and the cool alloy rims.) I admit the summer tires and sport suspension I would delete-- if I could. Wish I could trade these with somebody!

Yet they offer the Xi with SP but without the suspensions and the staggered wheels... what hypocrites.

Sport seats alone are £430 in the UK, about $760 at today's rates

I dont know what it is with BMW. Here in the UK u can get pratically every optional item separetly. Why does it differ in US. You should be able to have your car how you want it.

I want to move to the UK for clear corners and whiter Xenon lights. Anyone have extra room in their flat for me?
