Guys- I ordered a 228i, no line, no sport. But my vehicle inquiry report shows this line.

It also shows the steptronic instead of sport auto.

Does everyone's report look like this?

call your ca

[ScottMZ3]

Yeah, definitely call your CA quick! You don't want the Steptronic Auto...needs to be the Sport Auto!!

As for the suspension, if you can somehow get the M suspension for no charge take it! Unless you wanted the standard due to harsh roads in your area.

Agreed with Scott. I think you need to make a call. You'll definitely want the sport auto. Can't think of reason why you would want to steptronic instead.

I sent an e-mail. No response. I have to think that it's impossible for the car to be build with the steptronic and that best case scenario is that it gets the sport auto 8-speed ZF, and worst case scenario is that the order is rejected. I also sort of think that since we know it's impossible to get a N/C sport suspension without getting a sport line or an M235 that both are just errors that are going to resolve themselves at some point in the process.

I feel like I'm going to drive my CA nuts if I call him and harass him about this kind of thing
Free sport suspension ftw though... lol

It's totally possible because that is what is on my car! I am debating if I want to order another car or negotiate something with the dealer. Car is loaded 228i. Help me decide if I even need paddle shifters, launch control, or Sport +. They confirmed they made a mistake by specifying STEPTRONIC vs the default Sport Auto with Launch Control.

Shifts are noticeably faster with the sport auto so it's not just paddles and launch control unfortunately

That really makes me feel better, thanks a lot! So much conjecture on this topic I have researched it and have yet to find anything from BMW stating one has a faster shift time. Honestly, I am exhausted researching the topic - I'm going to be more than pleased with the 228i as I am getting it so I need to stop focusing on something I won't have!

I am just hoping that by keeping this topic alive customers do not get the Steptronic selected for them.

There are so many out there with the Steptronic.. currently going through potential dealer trades with my CA and 75% of the cars with the options I want have it. So frustrating! If I can't find anything this week I think I'll have to order.

I got my VIN. Checked a couple online VIN decoders, and it looks like I do have M sport suspension. Not sure how. Maybe it really is an intentional no-cost option. Anyone know?
