New iDrive in US spec car

Gragop Jul 8th, 2008 Link

Anyone have an idea on when we might get an M Sport package or an E90-based ZHP type package? Seems odd you can buy those in most markets around the world with the exception of the US.

We have heard the possibility of a ZHP package and there is of course the BMW Performance line which goes hand in hand with the tii concept. The reason it has not surfaced in the US is a bit confusing as well, I suppose it is the fact that the more choices there are the more it costs per car to BMWNA, aside from that I think the //M sport would be a nice upgrade to any car.

Michael-

Thanks for all the information you provide. I have been debating whether to keep the 08 I have on order (on the boat now) or do an ED on an 09 sedan. I noticed over on e90post you mentioned there will be no DCT on the new sedan–is this absolutely confirmed? Why would BMW change this only for the coupe and not offer DCT on the sedan that carries the same engine / other options?

Dan,
It has not been 100% confirmed BUT we have the ordering guides for the 2009 E90 and it is not mentioned. Official word should come shortly… I am awaiting the information and will post it as soon as we get it. We hope that we have been able to provide you with the information to aid your purchase.

I will also tell you that today I received info about new rebates, money factors and interest rates for July purchases. You can Email me for further details.
