Getting a new E90

So I'm upgrading from my 08' 328i to a new 328i, don't know if I should get black or white though yet. I had some questions though.

Does the msport package come with automatic seats?? or is it manual still, and is it possible to just find a 328i thats not automatic or do I have to ship it from overseas??

I have an '06 Msport 325 and my seats are manual so I don't think it has changed.. could be wrong.. perhaps check the BMW website under features/options

To get power seats, you have to get it as a standalone option or part of the Premium Package. I think a manual 328i will be pretty hard to find, so you might have to order one.

M-sport definitely doesn't come with a power seat. It's still manual adjustment.

As for the transmission, I didn't look too hard since I ED'ed mine, but as far as I looked I could not find very many manuals on the lot period, M-sport or not. I imagine if you are very open to various color combos and paying for some unwanted options / not getting wanted options, you could probably find it.

Also keep in mind that it's the end of the model cycle, and that may put some strain on the model mixture. This is just a conjecture, but the fact that BMW recently raised the price of manual by $1K while leaving the automatic alone makes me think that they don't want to sell too many manuals at this point.

sounds like you're going to have to order, I tried to lease a 328i a while back and there were only two manuals in the whole southeast and neither one were equipped like I wanted. I ended up buying a CPO'd 335i instead and was much happier with that choice in the long run.

That's true for E92. Not so for E90.

The E90 Value Package does not come with power seats, only the E92/E93 does.
