Brand New 2004 330i with an OEM cloth interior? WTF!

[delmarco]

What is BMW cutting corners here???? or can customers special order BMWs to have cloth interior if they are allergic to the leather/vinyl fabric?

I'd take it!

i knew u could get the steering wheel in cloth, but not the whole interior. But i do think that u can get an E46 M3 in a cloth interior, or so i was told last time i went to the dealer

[Rooz]

u do notice the suede as well, right?

[delmarco]

what for $38,000...w/ 12,809 miles and paint damage!

don't think so...

Spanking new 325i E90s are about $32,000 starting!

[Chris]

it looks like a custom job *notices carbon fiber but no M badging*

[Antiburn]

Its not cloth, its suede with a sport package and the BMW aluminum trim that they offer.

[dutchbmw]

Something like the GT interior in the e36 M3 series.

I think its s acustom job...i see /MM logo on bottom of the steering wheel and carbon fiber inside where there should be wood, but i see no M on the shift knb, and the exterior looks completely stock, not even clear corners...maybe the owner had the suede put in because of black leather in texas heat *points to front plate*

It's a Combination of Alcantar and Black Cloth Interior. It may be that it's a euro import to the states as over here leather is only an option on most BMW's (in fact so is alcantar) - except the 5's and 7's (however the e39 came with cloth as standard - mine had the £800 leather option).

You seem to get a lot of our "Options" as "Standard" over there!

Also it clearly has a ///M steering wheel and the carbon is an option over here on all BMW's but comes as standard on the "Sport", models.

It's definetly not a custom job cos that's exactly what I'd expect a 3series sport to look like inside - or an SE with the ///M steering wheel and carbon, alcantar options.

Whatever it is, it's nice

If anybody read the ACTUAL Ebay...or know anything about e46 330i/xi/Ci....

The //M on the steering wheel and those wheels are specifically for...the Peformance Package.

But, no cold weather package.

Yeah, Performance Package.... ChrisWorrell's 2004 330i has that package and a similar interior, except for leather seats and aluminum trim.

Which would in Europe be, the "SPORTS" Package as mentioned in my previous post and comprises of - sports seats, //m steering wheel, carbon trim, //m suspension and 18's - however all are available as seperate options too!

I would take it.
