BMW of North America issued a bulletin to all the US dealerships containing the ordering guide for the new 2012 BMW 3 Series. All the details can be seen below.
The all-new BMW 3 Series Sedan was revealed in October and has already generated a tremendous amount of excitement with customers and journalists. We are pleased to announce that the 328i and 335i models started production earlier this week for our retail launch on February 11, 2012.

Lines
As announced in October, the all-new 3 Series will be available at launch with three optional equipment design packages called Lines: Sport, Luxury and Modern. There will be an M Sport Line available as of 7/12 production. Please note that the selection of Lines will not change model code or type. The Lines allow further individualization to appeal to a wider array of customers and offer conquest potential. The choice to equip a car with a Line determines the rest of the vehicle’s aesthetic configuration. It therefore occurs very early in the ordering process, right after the engine selection. The content of the Lines is described below.
