Look what was spotted today at a Socal dealership. Gas guzzler tax is $3700. SMG is $3000.

Saw a silver one up here in the Central Coast at a dealership. As stated in a previous thread, no DSC/DTC button. Just an EDC button where the sliding ashtray/coin holder should be. Didn't like the one piece leather on the stick shift, either. One piece of leather encompasses both the shift boot AND the knob. Looks tacky and cheap IMO.

The shift knob looks out of place. BMW should've done a better job with it

Looks right to me. That's where most normal people put there shifter.
Perhaps some clarification might help.
