Interior Individual options available for F25 in US?
Can anyone shed some light on this? I have a friend that is preparing an order but would like to customize his interior somewhat... Spoke with one dealer so far and was told not an option...

You can only customise what you see on the website configurator. Leather colour, interior trim etc. Same for paint colour, only what you see. If you want more choice than this you'll have to buy an Audi Q5. There are no individual options for the X3

I LOVE the sport steering wheel that comes with the sports activity package. I also LOVE the large screen you get with the nav option. My 2 cents. |

I am sure of these lacking options will be deliberate, they need some ways to distinguish between the models. BMWs response would be "if you want these options then they are available to you, on an X5"

BMW did a lot of analysis on the X3 market before they developed the brief for the new model. One of the findings was that buyers in this category were not prepared to pay a lot more for extra's and options. So the number of takers for comfort seats (think globally) was tiny as it was for options like laser guided active cruise control. For those types of options to make the spec list and be right priced you have to have a large enough number of buyers who are prepared to pay for them. In markets where they pay high levels of sales tax or import duty options can quickly double the price of the vehicle so the options take up is very low.
