I'll settle for no paddles. I wasn't expecting them at the time of ordering anyway. The M sport suspension was an added bonus!

Both the salesman and I couldn't find the 2TB Sport automatic transmission on the option list.

Here's where it gets weird... They have a 228i Sport line that has a regular steering wheel with paddles. On the specs it says Sport automatic transmission. Their other 228i with the M Sport line has the M Sport steering wheel but no paddles. On the specs it says STEPTRONIC automatic. I just found it odd that an M Sport line wouldn't have the sport auto transmission.
The paddles only come with the 2TB option as far as I know. It is odd to see an M Sport without 2TB, but like you said earlier, some dealers were ordering them with 205.

That's cool about the suspension upgrade - you know they'll charge you for it though.
