any one ordered one?

when playing on the configurator, it looks like non black dakota leather is chargeable option at £1150 with black dakota leather being at no additional cost.

is this correct?

seems outrageous to charge more for different colour but the same leather, not the case on any other BMW.

does any one know what the EU weight is for the M235i convertible?

The actual price lists and brochures haven't been made up and approved yet so I can't double check.

I'd be confident it's a mistake as it's not chargeable on the M135i or M235i Coupe, but I could be wrong (not my department). My spec sheet says the covertible has "Dakota leather upholstery" as standard on the M235i and doesn't specify black only so again, would assume it's a mistake.

Send an email to product.marketing@bmw.co.uk and ask them to confirm both price and weight.

Not sure some of the other packages and options are quite right on the configurator yet either.

Expect they'll sort it out soon enough.

I'm looking at one to replace the wife's 135 convertible but could really do with being able to tow with it ( to consolidate my fleet somewhat ) - is it likely to be homologated for towing ?
