Sport Activity?

Trying to decide if I need the Sport Activity package when I order a new X3. The only thing I think I would enjoy would be the sport transmission. My question is this - does the X3 have a manumatic (or whatever BMW calls it) mode on the shifter? Where you can shift it yourself? My current vehicle (FX35) has it and tightens things up very nicely when I want to.

All auto-tranny BMWs come standard with both a manual and sport transmission function by way of shoving the gear shift lever over to the left (or right in the UK).

We ordered a 28i with the SAP. Mainly because we thought the standard 17" wheels looked too small. The sport pack added 18 inchers. Its also adds sport seats, which includes more bolstering to hug you tight!

Seats alone are worth it.

1 on the seats. Also if it's a 35i I love the 309 rims you get as well.

Thanks to all the replies.

I will be getting the 35i so that should come with the 18" wheels. The 19" wheels may look nicer than the 18" but that is something I'll have to decide. Most people here seem to rave about the sport seats.

Well, I've requested a quote with the SA package included. Wish me luck.
