2013 28i, no High Gloss Instrument Panel

I just received my 2013 28i. The Standard Equipment sheet has "Black High Gloss Instrument Panel" as standard.

I have the ZAP and ZCV packages with aluminum trim.

Does my configuration not call for the High Gloss?

Any 2013 28i have High Gloss?

I know the 35i comes standard but honestly i hated it, because of the glare and swirl marks. Glad the 28i dosent have it

Hmm, good point. Looks 'bland' matte black, but I guess it's easier to maintain.
Thanks Teemo P!

Over here we can choose it free of extra charge with all X3 configurations as long as we upgrade the interior trim (alum or wood). I opted it out and haven't regretted at all. So I guess it just depends on taste, IMO glossy plastic doesn't add much.
