Leather Dakota Black/blue highlight
Dark Burl Walnut wood trim
Driver Assistance Package
Dynamic Handling Package
Lighting Package
Premium Package
Technology Package
M Sport Brakes

Things I am still not sure on are:

I recently removed park assist and added side cameras
Added the Dynamic Handling Package after reading threads, good idea?

I'd rather have the sport suspension vs DHP. No option for 6mt? Hrm...

I would go for the full DA Plus package, might as well. Also consider Active cruise control.

To me lighting package is not worth it, DHP is.

I found DA Plus to be not worth it, neither are the side view cameras. I had active cruise control in my last car and absolutely hated it so I didn't go with that either.

My F30 has everything else though.

Had an Infiniti with assisted cruise control and I hated and never used it. With the lights it just looks like the future of lights and think I and my family will be safer on the road with them. Last car was pretty much totaled at night, I was at a stop and other driver struck my car. If it helps me be seen then next gen lighting it is.

Love having a back up camera in my current car and can't imagine losing it. I appreciate the opinion. Can't wait.

Crazy, I just mentioned in the post above yours that I hated active cruise control too but never mentioned what car I drove, haha it was also an Infiniti.

Haha, purchased and when you are a local (born and raised) cold is relative. Figured nice to ride with the top down and warm rear-end. Thought the heater for the neck was a bit to much.

I am looking at adding on the M performance package now as well. Just waiting to hear back from the dealer on pricing. Doing it now to maintain the warranty and get the ~320HP vs. the 300.
