2013 x1 35 M Sport Canadian's get satin window rails!

Hi Guys
I just took delivery of my loaded 13 X1 35i M sport and noticed that my side
window trim is all satin silver.
My dealer adsvises that all Canadian vehicles come equiped this way.They have tried everything they can to have the vehicles equipped with full "Shadowline"trim....it just cant be done for Canadian's!!
I was a little pissed off at first to say the least...but i try not to worry about
things you can't control..may have to get them wrapped.

Any other contries get this wierd configuration??

PS Just realized i need to change my car sig..

Interesting, I'm in Canada as well and have noticed M Sports on lots with the chrome lower strip only instead of the shadowline that it's supposed to have, just to clarify does yours have "satin" the entire trim all the way around or just the bottom strip?

Also, if wrapping the exterior trim do you think it will hold up ok?

It's just the bottom rails of the windows.And i am not sure how the wrap would hold up as I have never done it before..

IIRC, paddle shifters and headlight washers aren't possible on the 2013 X1's in Canada. No option what so ever.

Good to know!
What month was your car built?

The Canadian ordering guide for 2013 that came out in October 2012 has no mention of paddles or washers.
But perhaps the M Leather steering wheel [code 710] that's included with MSport package has standard paddles?

Production date says 01/13
I was cristal clear to my dealer that I would not accept my delivery if it did not have the paddles..

Do you know how your SA specified the paddles in your order? My SA couldn't find any way to do that in the ordering system.

Ah, So your X1 B-unit has no paddles?, but you have Msport?
I wonder if Luvmyone's dealer did a special order for his paddles?

Mine is still in production so yet to see. Not sure if it's different in Canada than the U.S though because there is absolutely nowhere to specify the paddle option in the dealer ordering system. I'm hoping it is infact standard feature for Canada.

Any Canadian owners on here have an M-sport that didn't come with paddles?

Yes, but mine was an 09/12 build so an early '2013' model I guess. Mine was one of two dealer stock 35i M-Sports, neither of which had paddles. If I was ordering then I would certainly try to get the paddles, but that having been said, I don't curse the lack of paddles so I guess it isn't a big deal.

On another note, I don't have headlight washers, and that's something I actually VERY happy about as they used to annoy the crap out of me on the 335. If I did have them on the X1, I would have had them coded off by now.

I know this is an old thread, but our new '13 35i M-sport has the satin under the window, but the gloss black roof rails, and it does have paddle shifters...
