I think I'm making progress - the Western district Manager has seen the car and says BMW will fix the problem...but a bunch of e-mails back and forth from BMW NA to Germany are indicating only "maybe".

I'm not letting go of this as it is indeed ridiculous to have that chitty black plastic console on a $100K+ MSRP car. Good luck - and let me know how your car arrives.

I have not received my car yet, but did bring it up to the dealer when I placed the order. I was hoping it was just a laziness issue and not represented properly on the website car configurator. I will be complaining about it if it does actually come in like that and was hoping that BMW would make this right. It makes no sense that a superficial piece of wood (or lack there of) would be different on a manual versus auto transmission. Especially on a car of this stature.
