I tried to email various people at BMWNA and the plant in SC as well as two different dealers ask the same useless local rep to no avail. I had them on my 01 MBZ. I couldn't wait any longer; I'm sure they'll be available sometime after my car arrives.

It's nothing new. I wish BMW would stop shortchanging us when it comes to options. An Anthracite headliner would be nice on X3s or 3-series. Or perhaps the sliding armrest for the 3-series. But noooooooope. :

All the new BMWs (including our 325i) are supposed to come with the Smoker's Package. Now, we don't necessarily smoke, but we do like to have power outlets. So why does BMW put a plastic piece over the rear ones? (Great, another DIY mod I have to do , the day after I install a new headlamp switch for the rear foglights)
