Unhappy Disappointed that I did not get the Sports Package

After more research, after the fact, I'm a bit disappointed that I did not choose the 1900 sports pack for my X6. Also, I'm really not too crazy about the standard wheels. Looks like I'm on track to receive my new baby on the 27th, but I hope it looks good with the standard wheels....Guess I have to see it in person. As of noe, I have a bad feeling about the appearance. Any thoughts?

If it is only the wheels from the sport package that drive you crazy. Then just find a set of replica which they are quit cheap these days

I live in Abruzzo part of the year - because of the winter weather and the mountains the X6 is quite popular (if you can afford it). I have seen a lot of the stock wheels and they look very nice. The 20" wheels are nice to look at ... "ma como una bella ragazza non sono tanto comodo". The suspension is really made for the 19" wheels - with the 20" it is better on the smooth pavement of an autostrada but in the city it is rough.

I have the Sports Package, but I didn't know the seats are different! I guess I didn't do my homework before the purchase.

You can always use the non-sports rims for winter/snow tires set up, and buy another set of 20"s.

I thought unlike the X5, X6 comes standard with sport seats and steering wheel.

I'm not sure about the steering wheel but seats are non sport is 100%.
Can you ask your dealer to add a sport package?

I am from Canada too. I just checked the website and it mentioned sport seats and steering wheel as standard on the X6 in "build your own" section. don't worry

It's already on it's way! I'm taking delivery via Military Car Sales Bavaria in Wurzburg, Germany...I asked my sales rep if she could have them swapped out for what I want and this is what she told me, " And the new alloys, I checked and you can buy either style 212 or 258. Sadly they can’t swap them for the others for you, but you can buy the others for €1625 without TAX and including the labor to change them over. I am going to speak with my boss to see if he will do anything for us."

And then she asked if I wanted her to order the set that I want! What do you guys think......

Wish I could add the Sports Activity Package after the fact! Don't think it's possible.....I could have dropped the Comfort Access and add the SAV.....Now I'm thinking that the Comfort Access was a waste of money....Now I have to live with it!

Now you make me feel even sicker, without the Sports Pack! Thanks! Don't think I'm too excited now to receive!
