It's your company that ordered this car and a very basic car at that. It costs money to have options blame your company not BMW. Does anyone buy a manual car like the Active a Cruiser and even stranger to be a company car as a manual. BMW New Zealand doesn't import manuals any more even on special request no manuals.
BMW's sports seats are some of the best I've had the pleasure of owning. I wouldn't purchase a BMW without M Sports option now. I'm not saying the basic BMW is poor it's good for the money but you have pay to get even better just like your company would do charge more to a customer for a better product and service.
