I was always wondering why my coupe had no spoiler! March (I think) 04 build... You think if I bitch to BMWNA now they will give me one?!?!? Or, do I even want one? Already have deleted the "330ci"

You were right in the middle of the parts shortage. It's obviously been a long time. However, here's how I would play it. Say that you just found out today that you were supposed to have one of these on your car. In fact, pull up the option sheet for your car. See if option code 326 is on there (spoiler delete). If it is not, see if your local dealer will do a goodwill adjustment for you. See if they'll give you one and install it for you (it's just 3M double-sided tape that holds the spoiler on). You'll need to get it painted too -- perhaps you'll pay for that out of your pocket (as a sign of compromise).
Seriously, if you have a good relationship with your dealer, it's worth a shot.
Or....buy a $40.00 lip spoiler....get it painted and put it on yourself.

The OEM spoiler is only $40?
Also, I would go the free route first, though. Then, if all else fails, go the Dane route.

True... but just to give you an idea of what they expect for a full-bore list/retail on such a piece!

RealOem prices are all over the place, both below and above BMW retail prices. I've stopped looking at their prices now because they are so out dated. Many items are way cheaper, then on the other hand a $5 bolt on Real Oem is $19 wholesale so it is almost pointless to note their prices. I use it just for part numbers and diagrams.
Its still ball park imho. The realoem numbers typically seem to be more or close in my experience. Haven't seen it low too many times.

I had one quick question guys, is the leather from ZHP seats any different from normal 330 seats? I have a 05 ZHP with 46k miles and maybe just because its newer and less used, but It feels so much better than my friends 01 330ci and even different from my brother's E92. I've also heard someone say that they are Nappa leather, but isn't that only used on M3's? I searched already but nothing came up.
