My E89 spec. I'm confused

[Pondy]

Hello,

I'm trying to ascertain what "spec" my little entry level 18i is. It's a 2013 so the first of the 18s.

I'm not sure what was optional and what not. This is what is has (and hasn't) got:

It has:
heated seats
Parking sensors front and rear (audible only)
cruise
The angel eyes seem very white, not sure if they are LED or standard.
Professional stereo incorporating telephone controls
19" wheels (the glass double spokes don't know the number)
wind deflector

It hasn't got:
climate (only basic temp controls)
idrive or info screen.

Could it possibly be a "highline"?
Any light shone would be appreciated

Hi if you can find an online BMW vin decoder and enter the last six digits of your vin it will list your entire spec/options as delivered from the factory

I tried that before. I think some are not accurate, as one said my car was an auto, another a manual (it is manual).

Hi, heated seats/cruise control/wind deflector/19” wheels/professional stereo and parking sensors were all options as far as i know, does your car have auto lights as i think that was optional on the 18i as well.
Your car looks to be an lci model which had whiter angel eyes compared to the earlier e89’s.

Rob..I think all 18s were LCI models? 20s and 28s bridged the divide..

A base 18 took BMW's stance on optional extras to a new level?

On the 18i I would imagine all off those would be optional extras except for the LED headlights.

Thanks that helps. Mine is one of the first 18s, as the build date sticker says March 2013. It is an Msport, I presume the heated leather was included in that pack.

Heated seats are almost always an option, m sport seats obviously come with the m sport pack but not necessarily heated

I don't think the Highline option was ever produced in the 4 pots - M Sport Highline also had the iDrive included.

Not even certain that leather was standard on the 18i but could be totally wrong.

They have Panama cloth on the listing above

Ed.Straker mentions Kansas leather as well Rob, I was saying that I thought it was optional as I had read that 18i came with cloth
