not when you see the prices of gasoline and cars in europe .

No kidding. I remember the price of Premium in Texas 10 years ago, I think it was something like 85 cents a gallon. In San Diego it was $1.48 or something like that. Now it's well over $2 here in Diego.

 

and europeans are paying double of what we are paying now :'(.

 

5 Bucks per Gallon...

 

BMW individual = pricey, but nice toys for your whip.

 

Individual is a special order program. If you go on the internation website, click on products, Individual is listed. They only offer this, from what I was told when I tried it, on M cars. You may have better luck than I did.

I called the dealer here in Texas the other day, and he told me that you could order a car with the Individual options in the US, but few do it. He said it is very cost prohibitive, and most people do not want to wait that long for their cars. They will buy whatever is on the lot, or a car that the dealer can trade for so they do not have to wait 2 months to build it. We Americans are an impatient lot.

Ask your dealer. You can order individual options on 'M' cars. Specifically, my dealer has confirmed I can order BMW Individual options for my M5. They may not do it for non-M cars because it is a more disruptive step in the production process. The M cars are removed from the normal production line anyways, so it may be easier to fit individual to them.
