BMW Is Really Cool for Having Backdated Cars in Its Accessory Configurator

Not all of us can afford brand-new luxury or sports cars but that shouldn't mean we can't get cool factory upgrades, right? BMW certainly thinks we should be able to, as it not only still offers tons of accessories for older cars but its online configurator is even backdated for them. So you can visualize what they'll look like while you shop.

You can access the Visualizer from accessory pages, or play around with it here.

Admittedly, the configurator isn't backdated further than 2007, and not every model is included in its older years, but it's further back than most other brands' online stores. The oldest model you can configure is the E92 3 Series coupe—for some reason, neither the E90 sedan nor the E91 wagon is available—but the newest few years have every model, including M cars.
