I just took this URL:
http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...s/Default.aspx

and truncated to find more hidden information! Awesome

Enjoy!

Yes, the configurator is up and works now. BUT WHY NO M SPORT YET?

cpippolo · 01-13-2012, 10:10 AM

Found that in the highlights, but also says 230 hp, which I think is wrong. 36 MPG seems high, so maybe that's wrong too?

They subsequently changed the 230hp to 240hp, so maybe the 36 is a good estimate

It is a little slow and somewhat buggy, but I am sure they will work it out.

because you cannot order it in the 2012 model year, we have to wait a few months for the 2013 model year build ordering to begin

Red Bread · 01-13-2012, 10:21 AM

I assume the 328i having standalone zenons as an option is a bug that will get yanked soon? They also list shadowline or aluminum window trim being available on the sport line, which I imagine will get the ax for the US too.

Ron Scott · 01-13-2012, 10:23 AM

Slow and funky but I'm getting a config!

sjohal · 01-13-2012, 10:29 AM

I noticed you can't order the sport automatic transmission with anything other than the Sports line. Bug? Or was this overlooked by bmwconfig.com?

lem144 · 01-13-2012, 10:51 AM

Over $53k fully loaded. Without X Drive.

noro · 01-13-2012, 10:52 AM

Does anyone else have a big problem with the fact that to get Xenons on the 328i you have to get the expensive Premium Package and to get Navigation you need the Tech Package.

I understand that this tactic is specifically designed to upsell... but in my case I will actually deter me from getting this car. Or waiting until I can by the spare parts and add things on my own (conveniently voiding the warranty)

Overlooked by bmwconfig.com. That limitation was published in the ordering guide quite a while back.

lem144 · 01-13-2012, 11:01 AM

Originally able to config sport line with oyster, but now I can't bummer.

Xenons have an exclamation by them that says adding will add Premium Pkg.
(unless you already have ZPP checked, then you don't see the note)

lem144 · 01-13-2012, 11:02 AM

Also kind of disappointed in the number of exterior colors available.

Yeah, the interior color selections now force the required Line selection.

artpixels · 01-13-2012, 11:06 AM

Why no Jet Black in the exterior color option? Is this configurator ready?

WWM3 · 01-13-2012, 11:12 AM

Is the 2012 335i up as well?

pcbrew · 01-13-2012, 11:15 AM

The US configurator has much higher quality images that UK/German versions.
We also get the 360deg views that can be zoomed.

Now have the best view yet of the halogens.

Yes, just change 328i -> 335i in the URL posted.

Absolutely on Xenons. I hope they make them standard in 1-2 years or do away with the unnecessary ZPP requirement.
BTW, this also really only affects Base & Sport Line buyers, since they force you into ZPP anyway if you get Modern or Luxury.

Not so much on Tech Package. Nav is usually ~$2K, so for $550 more you get HUD, so, if I wanted Nav, I would be happy to pay a little extra for HUD.
FYI, the same HUD is a $1300 option on the F10.
