Hang on one second here....am I reading this right or is Leatherette no longer available????

Does that mean you must pay for Nasca leather??? Or is it standard??


R.R.
That ordering guide is for the 545 only, for which leatherette was never an option. That's also why you don't see the premium package offered.

That ought to piss of some people!
I don't think you could ever get SMG without the sport package. Furthermore, on the 545, you had to get the 545/6speed before you could get SMG (a no cost option, even).

My interpretation is that the SMG is the ONLY tranny available with the sports package!

Under Notes:
206 (SMG) must be ordered with ZSP (sports package)

I just noticed that the CD changer is now in-dash. Great. I guess that's what we get for being early adopters. So is it safe to assume that if you get Logic7 in MY2005, that the single-CD player is replaced with the changer?

Oh well.

Rudy,

I read that the same way, "Notes: 206 must be ordered with ZSP"

Not sure but I think "in-dash" was used with MY2004 cars as well.

In-dash (vs. in-trunk) I think includes "in-glovebox."

If we're right, then to me that's the biggest news flash with regard to this topic.

Many people are not going to like the fact that they can't get a clutch or a step with the ZSP.

(For me, it wouldn't matter since I chose the SMG and would do it again in a heartbeat! )

Whoa! If you get the sports package you can replace the sport seats with the comfort seats for no charge! The comfort seats used to have to be ordered seperately and cost $1200.00 I believe.
Lomag, maybe they upped the price of the sports package to cover the swap? Maybe they improved the sport seats in some way to make them more comparable in cost to the comforts?

Or, then again, maybe not!

Now that I read it again and again, I am now not so sure. Think that it is the same as before.

I.e. to get the smg you need the sport package a la Mr. Belk.

I would imagine that the note would have to say "ZSP(sport package) must be ordered with 206(smg)" for it to be the case of not allowing a 6manual or steptronic.

About ventilated seats, seat heaters and nasca leather...:

I have it all on mine and in the German brochure and the BMW.de car configurator it was the same.
Nasca leather ONLY with ventilated seats.
Ventilated seats ONLY with nasca leather.
On ventilated seats the seat heater IS STANDARD, thats's why you can't order it as an option.
