No Jet black on UK sport models?

taylor82 · 02-26-2008, 03:00 PM

Just placed my order today for 123d m sport. Wanted to go with jet black but ended up having to get metalic black as apparently you can't order jet with the sports models? Was really pissed, not just because of the extra £440 for metalic but i was really looking forward to having the deep black you get with non metalic, as oppose to the hazy sapphire black on my E46! Anyone got any ideas or reasons why BMW don't let you have jet black on sport models, has anyone in NA found this or is this just somthing to piss off Euro/UK customer as seen as we get to order everything else al a carte :roundel:

You can see the specs of my build in my signature.. Sorry you can't order it the same way :iono:

Any UK or Euro owners/potential buyers any opinions?

BMW Individual is not available on the 1 series anywhere in the world, so I don't think lack of extra colours is just to piss us off

Always been the same with the 1 series sport models, very limited colour choices.

Bit weird I agree, but it's an easy way for BMW to make more money from you ordering the paint.

Gits.

Luckily for me the white is a solid!
