The Performance accessories will be previewed at Geneva in March.

As said before Leipzig are not able to accommodate BMW Individual and the 1er , 2er and X1 are exempt from the programme.

A bit out of topic, but why is there no X1, X3, X5 diesel ? Those would be perfect candidates for a Diesel powertrain.

M2 specifications not final but strategy under conception.
They won't have any answers relating to an M2. This is about the 2er and for M. The M235i only.
What about Europe? Any room for a 230d or 235d?

Scott,

Thanks for the interesting tidbits of info you always provide. But I hope you are taking notes on all of us wanting better color and interior options for the M235. A lot of us are disapointed in the lack of options. Can we expect to see new color and interior options swapped in for each new model year? Similar to how SGM was replaced by space grey in the 1 series?

As far as info to ask for at the Detroit reveal:

A good detailed explanation of the suspension options would be appreciated.

Any info you could give us on performance parts. Specifically will they be factory, dealer, or port installed?

Scott,

Can you please elaborate more on this and tell us if the xDrive system will be just like every other BMW Xdrive?

Or will the M235i have a special xDrive system of its own?

Not to beat a horse... Would this also be the case for a true M variant?

If not, hoping for some bright, enthusiastic colours for the M when it's released (grammatically correct sentence hopefully).

Is xDrive going to be a MY2015 option? When will MY2015 production start?

On the 1M customers who took Individual early on production had to pay considerably more due to stopping production and shipping the body to Garching for re spraying. This added extra cost almost the cost of another 1M.
At the end of production they did authorise some of the last units to be Individualised hence the Green Mamba Car and a few others at the end of production.

What will happen with the M2 is too early to say...
Although I am sure we will have an extended palette and maybe new exclusive colors?
But vehicles produced at Leipzig - 1er , 2er , X1 even the i3 and i8 are not offered to the Individual programme.

In diesel for Europe I think the limit will be 225d. With the base at 218d.

The press launch for the media is imminent. So a lot more will be known about everything regarding the new 2er Coupe.

There is an X5 Diesel and an X3 Diesel is coming soon.
The next generation X1 will almost certainly be offered with a diesel.

Does this basically confirm that all performance parts will be dealer install only?

Seems to be the case to me...unless you can only go that route if you're one of the very first people to take delivery. Perhaps later orders will accommodate factory install of these parts...

That's a good question--maybe for the M135/235, they aren't "counting" the additional ~20 BHP as the PPK, as you would on a 335 or 435 or whatever.

The rumor had been that the power kit would get the M235 into the ~350 BHP range. It will be interesting to see if that's true, and if so, how much $$$ it is going to be...
