Paddle shift standard w/Sport Pkg????

sunking420 · 04-29-2008, 10:33 AM

I was checking my status this morning(I've been "en route" since April 17 or 18) and noticed on the part that lists "Your 135i Coupe Selected Options" the Sport Package has
-Shadowline Trim
-M steering wheel
-M Sports leather steering wheel with paddle shifters
-Sport Seats
I ordered mine with 6speed manual and really don't want the paddles. From the time of order, there has been nothing showing my car with paddles, and I'm hoping there is just a mistake with the website. I emailed my sales guy this morning to check.
Anyway, are the paddles included in the Sport Package? If they are, I'm keeping it as there are too many things in the SP to say no, even with the paddles. Anyone's help on this is appreciated

I think its just saying you ordered the sports pacakge and its just listing what comes with it...in a pre-canned sort of way. The paddle shifters require the auto-trans.

Even I have been kinda confused about this. Is paddle shift included in the sports package? My dealer said it isn't. I got sports package, but had to pay extra for paddle shifters.

This is true, while the paddle shifters require the sports package, the do not *come* with it. You can see this by going to the bmwusa.com's 135i's "build your own" page... the adding the sport package does not add the flippers... but selecting them adds $100 to the sport package...and adds the auto-trans.
