Hi, I have recently bought a 318i lux e30. What does the lux mean and does any anbody know if it gets you anything extra?!! It has electric mirrors, windows etc, but not sunroof. Its a manual, and i at first thought lux meant automatic! :mad:

Thanks, :D

i've got one too.. they originally cost about 1200 quid more than the ordinary 318i cos they do have a few extras but nobody seems to know that and so im guessing you didnt pay extra cos it was a lux?

The lux's ive seen have had such things as OBC, black headlining, differnt material on the 'comfort' seats, rear bootlid spoiler, differnt steering wheel from the rubish 4 spoke one, full electrics, and some other stuff i think, oh and they have colour coded bumpers

Thanks fot that guys, sounds like some small differences worth having! And no, i didnt pay extra for the lux, it wasnt listed as one, it just says its one in its documents!
