If the style 152 wheels are the ones I think I found then, thank goodness I got my m-sport before the changes. I think they're only doing this on 328's to differentiate the cheaper model, lame.
I mean if I bought m-sport, let me have the wheels that come with m-sport. Not a special m-sport version. Any news on getting 6NR installed after?

They keep finding ways to increase the price of the 3 series and other models.

I wonder if those of us who have post-September 2010 (Combox) builds with 639, 6FL, 609, but not 6NF (because it was seemingly useless at the time) will be ineligible for a retrofit. I really hope not.

I'm supposed to hear from BMW about 6NR (pricing, retrofit capability if any) in approx. a month.

i've seen the xi coupe in europe with the 194 (17in) wheels, it looked strange but not in bad way.

Kind of odd, making these kinds of changes mid year.

In the E46 the Sports Package from MY2002-on was basically what this M-Sports Package will be for the last two years of the E9x production - Sports Package with the M body kit.
So there's nothing new here. Move along... |

I would guess that the Sports Package take among customers after the introduction of the M-Sports Package was simply insignificant, profit-wise. So BMW simply will take out production complexity and costs from their system with this move. |

I don't think that new front bumper is doing much for most people, including me. I originally wanted Vermillion Red w/ saddle brown leather but had to go with alpine white w/ red leather m-sport to stay away from that bumper. |

Can't believe that the sport package isn't offered on a BMW anymore... even if they do still have the m-sport package available. Who ever thought there would be a BMW where you weren't allowed to buy the sport package??

M-sport includes the sport package, it's just going to cost you more now.

These Style 152 wheels haven't been revealed yet; look at the other threads revealing new wheels for the X3, and try googling those. No results, because the wheels are new. |
