Mr.335iCoupe · 04-24-2009, 12:25 AM

I've tried searching but couldn't find the answer, can anyone confirm if style 255 19's and piano black is available for zmp? or will it come along when dct comes out for 2010?

The answer is maybe...I can see the option on the packages page of the BMWUSA configuration tool, but I cannot choose it.

The piano black was on there for the sedan as well when they first added the M-sport package, but was then taken off. I would plan on the same for the coupe. It is probably a mistake.

Guys,

What's the difference between the Piano Black finish (S4ATA) that's part of the ZMP option here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...35&hg=51&fg=45

versus the BMW Individual piano black finish (XE8) option SA940 shown here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...57&hg=91&fg=40

"diamantschwarz" S4ATA is Black High Gloss not Piano Black. They are two different trims yet seem to get mixed up here a lot.

Black High Gloss is black with a little bit of a metallic flake in it. Their should be a lot of pictures of it on here from the time the E92 launched. It was never available as a factory option for the US but was for Europe.

Piano Black is a deep, gloss black ironically enough like a piano. I also believe it is a wood veneer like other wood trims where as Black High Gloss I believe is all plastic.

Piano Black is like twice the price of Black High Gloss from the parts department.

This is Black High Gloss.
