I personally met Matt and Christine once in Miami with forum member ssabripo, after he ordered his Individual E90 M3. Because I wanted to have my ED in late September at the latest, and because the M3 was to be 2012, there were quite a few complex and production hurdles to overcome as traditionally ED is only available in mid October for new model-year models introduced in September. So between Matt, Maria (never met her in person, only by phone and emails) and Christine they pulled quite some strings in making all this happen this exact way. One thing... these people are the real thing. They know their product and they are car people. If just BMW salespeople were just 10% as knowledgeable and enthusiastic as they are they will be selling at least three times the number or M3 and Individual options as they do now. Individual combos, options and one-offs (like my steering wheel) are available to any BMW sold in the USA, but for some lazy reason sales people do not want to even mention it. This is not a matter of letting customers choose pink seats with purple seatbelts, but it can be as simple as letting a customer order a M3 with the $875 Harman Kardon system instead of the $1900 Individual Audio in the USA. In my particular case, I added the new M Performance steering wheel with bicolor leather, the center console in color-coded Rust Brown to match the extended leather (instead of default black-colored plastic), and the handbrake boot in Rust Brown to match. It is not cheap, but those are the personalization details that create an Individual car, IMO... ![]() |

That tells you that Individual in the USA is somehow still not ready to be openly introduced and marketed by BMW. ![]() |

Hey mister, fantastic results, congrats!!! I met with Christine in Toronto last month (her goodbyes sadly but I met the new guy and he's gonna be wonderful to deal with for anyone wanting similar individualization in the future) and she told me all about your steering wheel and how they put it together and into the car....man do those people at M and Individual go out of their way for all of us. BTW I love it, great choice.
All the best and you two out there on the sunny side of North America enjoy your Individual's!!! Best always - Mark |
