Options choice?

I think I've made my mind up on the basic options I'm going to order so this is it:

Manual car
Colour - undecided
Harmon Kardon Hifi
Exterior folding mirrors with anti dazzle
Through Loading system
Lumbar support
Heated seats
Driving assistant
Sun protection glass

My only uncertainty is the driving assistant, I would like the city stop function but not bothered about the other bits of it tbh. I know if you are being careful it shouldn't be needed but for that one time when there is a lack of concentration maybe worth it? Does anyone have any feedback on the DA features good or bad? I've heard it drops your insurance premium on other cars which would be an added bonus.

I'm also struggling to decide whether to order comfort access as it must be a bit of a security risk. Do people who have it use faraday pouches or just not worry and let GAP insurance take the risk?

Anything I'm missing which is a must have?

Any feedback appreciated.

Added the adaptive lighting, high beam assist and comfort access. Closing in on a good deal so would be rude not to!

I had driving assistant on the X5 (built in) I seriously would not pay for it. Save some money and gain and nice bit of storage there.

Through load is good too as if you have kids, it gains them a drinks holder in the armrest...and they can access small items for you from the boot!

With all the security issues I’d leave out comfort access but maybe I’m too paranoid. Lol

Def add the adaptive lighting, first time out on some dark B roads and you’ll be glad you did.

I would also add the smoking pack so you get the ashtray to throw change into. I didn’t and I have a useless tray that does nothing.

And reverse camera is neat.

You can buy a key fin guard that stops the signal. I can confirm it works. I put the keys in and put the bag next to the handle and the car wouldn't open
