  • Paint Colour
  • Sunroof
  • Apple CarPlay
  • Wireless Charging
  • M Sports Brake

All the others are basically optioned in on your behalf. DTC, Harman Kardon, Electric seats, Led headlights etc.
We don't get to have heated steering and WiFi hotspot either
Manual transmission is by request as special orders.
Okay...that certainly puts things in perspective. I definitely prefer some refinement in my daily and not having some options we in the IS are accustomed to is disappointing.

But again I ask, why are there so many variations on options in each market. Would assume supply chain and costs to be much easier if options are standardized across geographies.
