Am I crazy for ordering a second one?

Got my 2014 early last October, and just ordered the 2015 which will be here in late September. Really wanted the comfort access, cornering lights, and the black interior I couldn't order last time. Plus, this time I am getting the W wheels vs the turbine wheels.

If it makes you feel better I have a 2015 and have actually stopped myself a couple of times from getting a second one!!! So I vote no you are not crazy!

What color combo for this one?

Same here.

They even told me: If I come in the afternoon, I'm shopping. If I come in the morning, it is for maintenance. They watch everything!!

I am actually debating between the 14 vs 15. Would you say to go for the 15? what is the comfort access and cornering lights? sorry for the noob question, are those features missing from the 14?

Comfort access is keyless entry. While the key is in your pocket you can touch a plate near the handle of the door and have it unlock.

I thought all of the 2014s had cornering lights, but if they don't the lights turn on when you corner. Just like it sounds.

Are you sure? Because I am very sure my 15 doesn't have cornering lights.

My Monroney does not mention cornering lights.

There are things on the web site still as standard that didn't make it. Anyone seen a cornering light on an i8?
