Maybe I missed it, but does that stupid colored dashed trim piece change with what exterior color you choose

No it changes with what line/trim you get. The red trim is only available on the sport line. The blue is supposed to be on the M-Sport.

There are choices as well, as shown in post #1.
Sport Line does not force you to get red trim but does limit you to:

• Silver w/Red
• Silver w/Black
• Black w/Red

So even just a sport line with no premium package doesn't get corona rings... This sucks.

For the 328i, true, but the 335i comes with zenons stock, correct?

Is there any way to slow down the animation of these different "Lines" on the original post here so you could look at the car a little longer. It's so fast (maybe 1 or 2 seconds per model) that it's hard to compare. Just a suggestion to the creator. Great job!

I think you may be right. It's gonna cost a fortune to get this thing to have the standard features of a new TSX that my fiancé just bought... Btw I love that thing.

correct...you would first have to get ZPP=$3600, then add $1000 for xenons, make sure the dealer throws in some lube lol.

But seriously, not offering xenons as a stand alone is a complete fail

True, but you'll never get the TSX to have a good weight balance or a longitudinal engine either.

I can re-gen these at slower update (it's 1 sec now), so stay tuned.
I'll post one here first and then ask the admin to update post #1.

[Edit] Here are versions at 2s and 3s. I think 3s may be a little too long but let me know what you think. I also added labels.

[Edit2] removed 2-sec interval and added rear at 3-sec

thanks, surfing this site on my phone all night at work I'll miss shit sometimes...thanks

[advantage20]

Yeah, and the MSport can get:
* Aluminum w/ blue
* Aluminum w/ black
* Fineline anthracite wood + chrome

[mkoesel]

True.

However, as has been pointed out elsewhere, even if you choose the silver-black option, there is still red stitching on the steering wheel, and still the red trim on the guages. And maybe one other red stitched area too - can't remember (shifter?). It is pretty minor, yes, but for someone who was trying to escape the red entirely, well, they would be out of luck.

This is very true and something I need to consider. If I think this car will actually last me 7 or 8 years hassle free it may be worth splurging on.

Thanks for the slower animation- 3 sec. is perfect. Waiting for the rear view!

Post updated - front & rear at 3-sec.
I also dropped a PM to the admins in case they wanted to update the first post.

I'm surprised how people can complain about the color of the interior stitching which doesn't come in their favorite color.

Jeez...
These are cars... meant to be driven daily...
They're not your tuxedo ... meant to be worn on your wedding day.


For me: I'll have the 335i, with a blue exterior color and with M-sport package.
Now where's that lottery ticket again ?

[JYM]

I love the modern line! The design studio did a great job, congrats guys!

[Prophizee]

I didn't get a chance read through the whole thread but one quick question? Since all lines have a different interior, can I mis-match the colors. Meaning if I wanted to buy a sports one could I put the modern color interior or no.

nope, that's the complaint. if you want the saddle brown interior, you're stuck with luxury. if you want oyster, stuck with modern. Red, stuck with sport. Now, supposedly you can custom order colors with the "base" model, but seeing as how there are no sport, luxury or modern packages, don't count on getting some of the desirable styling/performance options outside of ordering those lines. That is my frustrated understanding of it.
