Question MSport with Alu Trim and Alu Rails instead of Anodized shadowline?

I'd like to order a MSport with the Alu Trim and Alu Satin Rails.

Asked my CA, said was not possible. Hard to imagine that a special request can't be made.

This was possible last year for a short time only for US market.

I believe this is configurable for European markets.

Planning on the Sapphire Black color, I just don't want that much black and not up for having a body shop replace all of the trim.


**Whoops noticed this was in the wrong forum**

Sure it's possible. Walk down to the parts department and order the parts and have them swapped on when the car arrives.

Unless they are already included, you'll probably need to add a few more dollars to replace all the little clips that will invariably break on removal.

This is the trouble with all these option package bundles bmw is starting to push (like most other manufacturers have done for years and years) vs. the older a la carte system with individual options that weren't interrelated.

Maybe you can find someone to trade....

Quick update. Finally after searching around. I finally found a person that was able to push for some real answers. I am getting the alum trim et al. on an msport w/ black sapphire thanks to dave theado @dave walter.

So, sometimes if your CA says it is not possible... it because you are using the wrong CA!
