UPDATE: In MY2016 it seems that Sport Steering Wheel is now standard. This is different than the M-Sport one but at least its ticker than standard. Also sport auto transmission is no longer an option so I think it's also standard. This solves the problems. Going to try an custom code order the Alcantara.
Original Post....
I’d like some opinions and thoughts on best way to solve a dilemma.
I want M-Sport with Alcantara headliner but I'm not going to buy an M5 to get it. The Individual package doesn't allow M-Sport to be selected. I don't care about the bumpers or sporty suspension. I'm getting active drive anyway but the thicker steering wheel is a big deal for me.
The Individual Package doesn't allow sport transmission option
I'm going to lease so I don't want to buy the headliner and add it to an M-Sport car.
Questions- Any way to special order Alcantara headliner as a standalone option without getting the full Individual Package? Other countries seem to allow this. What about US? I want to order M-Sport with Alcantara ideally.
- If I order a non-m sport car and buy a M-Sport steering wheel will the paddles work?
- Is it still possible to hack sport transmission software if you don't order it from the factory? What the issues with lease / going to the dealer after doing this?
