Please try and try. Be forceful, I think they can do it if you push it because it is simply the base Msport interior in Europe.
I am still on the fence on the 235i and part of it is that I want this interior too. Let us know how it goes but my sense is that the store managers can talk to the regional rep and you might be able to get it!
Let us know how it goes please!!!
