"exclusive package" order option 96/97

Does anyone know what this order option includes for e36 96/97 year?

never heard of it... I know theres, the sport pkg, luxury pkg, and cold weather pkg... i have a '97 and ive never heard of an 'exclusive pkg' sounds like the seller is trying to make the car seem better than it is... probably still a great car tho!

ps- welcome to bimmerwerkz!

wait... where do you live...?

May be equivalent to the US Luxury package. I really don't know.

Rex's reply is based on what we know from the options available to US buyers. I amy do a little online research, but your best bet would be to ask at the dealership. they may have an old guy who remembers, or maybe they have documentation that details said package.

The US luxury package usually includes several premium features, such as leather upholstery, wood trim, power seats, and dual-zone climate control.

edit: click to view Option codes for German Market E36 according to some dude

second edit: also mentioned in the list someone retrieved from the BMW ETK

It is a real option. NObody is trying to rip you off. I just don't know what it entails.

The "Exclusive Package" is the European equivalent of the US "Premium Package".
