330i
no options selected
tadaaaa no sunroof.
By the looks of it for the 4 series BMW's website does force it in the build your own.
But since they build them in the same factory in Europe, for Europe and for ROW.
So the discussion is just how BMW USA decides to market.
It has nothing to do with how the cars are built or how BMW processes orders, It's One big system linked to their computers in Munich.
It really is a question of telling BMW to build it like you want, rather then build it like the importer usually orders them.
Hey BMW, I want a 440i
No i dont want a sunroof
No i won't pay for a sunroof or sunroof delete.
Build me one like you do for the europeans : withtouh a sunroof.
Oh, you can't do that?
Then I can't buy a BMW, i'll buy a Mercedes then.
And then see how long it takes them to order you the car without sunroof.
And in the end, you guys already get cheaper bmw's then we do..
So even if you pay extra to order it bespoke, i don't really see the problem
