I have seen black and grey as available interior colors with the TI package. Does anyone know if you can get tan leather/leatherette as an interior color option with the TI package?

 

When I was shopping for mine I didn't see one. But in the brochure it looks like you can. They treat it as apackage the dealer can order and add to any A3.

 

has anyone seen this package/combo?

 

There was either a pic here or on fourtitude that had a sprint blue with taninterior and TI package. Looked awsome. Made me wish I got tan interior.

 

anyone else seen this package/combo?

 

lol, order one and find out. You pay MSRP, but it's all yours.

 

Who wants to pay MSRP? Not me! Thats why I was asking if this is common or not. For me, it seems very uncommon since I have not seen this combo yet. I guess I will continue to look around.

 

Since when does "Factory Order" = "Paying MSRP"???

I've ordered nine of my twelve new cars. Of those nine, three were found in the exact configuration I ordered (right down to the colors) in inbound inventory of either the ordering dealer or a dealer nearby. The remaining six cars were built to my order and shipped accordingly, a few of them even had something like, "Built especially for Mr. Shipo" printed right on the window sticker. As for what I paid, not one of them were at MSRP, in fact, the one in the highest demand when I placed the order (the 2002 530i SP 5-Speed) was sold to me at $1,250 above invoice (not a great deal on some cars, but a smokin' deal on that one).
