Was talking about auto packages in another context, and it got me wondering - what exactly do you get in a non-premium M3? I know a few things like premium audio, glass roof, heated seats - OK sure (although a $35,000 car without heated seats - that's some junk). But look at the list per the website (below).
Center console - what would they do without the current center console? No USB ports? No storage (it's just an empty bucket)? What would they even put there?
Custom driver profiles? Really? Isn't this just the most basic software?
Satellite maps? I guess that makes sense although they really ought to add Apple Carplay or similar.
I never really thought about it, because it wasn't really an option for me, but this is pretty odd. IMO a $35,000 car should have heated seats, folding mirrors, etc standard, or AT LEAST should't bundle them into a $5,000 package - I couldn't care less about fog lamps or high end audio. I think Tesla would be well served to make these a bit more a la carte when (If?) the time comes to make the base M3.
