It says produced, perhaps the sales guy somehow messed up entering the order |

So clearly, not all X1 M-Sport models produced in December or later have the paddle shifters. There's now a Le Mans blue one on the lot of my dealer for $49,200, should anyone be interested in buying an M-Sport without paddle shifters. |

Why even offer an M Sport without paddles? The paddles don't get in the way if you don't use them. BMW is in the wrong for this F-up with the paddles. If I was in Grovsnus' situation I'd be pissed too [and would not take delivery]. While my M Sport was delivered properly, the dealer said they had received at least one other December production that was missing paddles.

Laid eyes on my X1 35i tonight. It has the paddle shifters and the old shifter not the new electronic shifter

Interesting. I get my 35i in 2 weeks...and was told by the dealership no to paddles and yes to the new shifter. It was built in January. I'm not sure what to expect...I would like both...but if I had to chose, i would like the new shifter over the paddles.
2 weeks. |

Mine finished production shortly thereafter. Did you specify you wanted the paddles? I didn't see it as an option when I ordered my car...but then again, I didn't look for it and it didn't jump out on the list of options. The new 35i X3's come with the new electronic shifter...so if they are both using the same engine...why the different shifter? Weird though cause BMW Canada and the dealership said yes, it will get the new shifter. 2 weeks...

The 8-speed auto is so quick to change gears. so you need not paddle shift. I have peddle shifters on my 535d but I never use it because the gearbox changes gear faster than what you can change gears with paddle shifters. So you would not miss them. But it looks better with the shifters on the steering wheel.

If it went into production, there will be a VIN. Either get it from your dealer, or by logging in to "my bmw", call up the tracking page for the car, and look at the source. If the VIN has been assigned, the last seven characters will be in a hidden field there. Search for VIN_7 in the HTML source. Armed with the VIN, go to http://bmwvin.com and enter it. If your M-Sport has the paddle shifters, there will be a line saying: S7XAA M LEDERLENK.+SCHALTWIP.+MULTIF. M Leathr. wheel+shift paddle+multifunc. If not, you will see: S710A M LEDERLENKRAD M leather steering wheel (You'll also get the full VIN on the result page - useful if you want to get an insurance quote.) |

Sure, you can use the stick for it, but then you have to take one hand off the wheel, and depending on what you do, potentially leave it there. Once you're used to using paddle shifters, and not just to mimic the automatic, going back is an actual loss. |

Question......how bad is the delay for manual shifting? By that, I mean how much lag is there between when you initiate a shift (down or up) and when the ECU/trans programming actually initiates the shift?

I would completely refuse my X1 M-sport and then probably break some stuff at the dealership if I went through this debacle. So crazy. We did not get paddles on our base X1 because my wife would never use them, but in the rare time I drive it I wish they were there. Thankfully DS actually does a good job IMO, especially driving up winding mountain roads.
