M4 Order...Did I miss anything?

[Caelric]

I am about to order a new M4 via the military sales program, with these options:


M4 Coupe
ZMT Manual Transmission
475 Black Sapphire Metallic
ZEC Executive Package
LKSW Black Extended Merino Leather
ZLP Lighting package
2VF Adaptive M Suspension
2VZ Black Light Allot Wheel
403 Moonroof
688 Harmon Kardon suerround sound system
6NS Enhanced USB & Bluetooth plus Smartphone integration


Coming from a (modifed, twin turbo 450 whp) Infiniti G35 coupe that I often tracked with NASA HPDE and Time Trials). I plan on tracking this M4 on occasion, aswell. I consciously did not get the brake upgrade ($8000 for the brake upgrade seemed a bit much for me), thinking that a good set of track pads would suffice for my needs.

Did I miss anything obvious? This car will also be my daily driver, so the comfort options are there as well.

Thanks for any insight
Dave

Hell yeah you need the Moonroof to climbe out of the wreck you caused. I'll have one also, just to escape when I fuck up a corner. That will happen soon.

I do like opening up the moonroof on occasion, and while it does add weight, it's not an incredible amount.

Oh, I meant to type Allot wheel. It's a new type......

thanks for the feedback.

Nice build. You don't think that black on black will be a bit depressing? With CF as your trim, there will be no contrast at all.

What military sales program are you using?

[jbockrd]

The sun roof makes sense because you can't see the CF roof anyway on black on black. Sounds like a sharp car for SD weather!!

Congrats bro. I used military sales as well. Your build sounds great. Still trying to decide on the exec pack as there's really only 2 things I want out of it.

Say no to Moonroof say yes to carbon fiber

How much weight does the moonroof add?

45 lbs when compared to CF roof. Advantage of the CF roof is also that it lowers the center of gravity

DCT? I know, that's personal preference. We seem to be getting to the point where MT is going away and there's a whole generation of car buyers who can't drive one. Might make a difference for resale value...

[karussell]

i don't see any m3's having trouble selling with manual. actually i think they have a very strong following and command similar money to DCT cars all things being equal. besides who buys a car for the next owner. get what you love. might not be a choice next time around. GT3 owners know that very well.

Big fan of doing my own shifting just like god intended.....

Heh, no I just like stick shift too much to worry about that WRT resale value. I understand that the DCT us faster, but to me, not nearly as fun.

At least that is who I am doing the work with right now, and it all looks good. I don't get home until Late Oct/early Nov, so no worries about the car not being ready in time.

I completely forgot. Side and Top View Cameras. Help avoid curb rash and bumper dings.

Glad I'm not a GT3 owner right now. Lol.

Considered that. Not worth, in my opinion. Others may differ.

Fair enough. I don't have it in my current car and I make out just fine.

I have a 360 surround view camera in my SUV. the only thing I find useful is the reverse and forward view which is included in the M exec pkg along with the beeps. I just drive and turn and listen to beeps to keep me from hitting anything. Save your $

No it's not.

Welp, just put my deposit down. Looking at a late October delivery. Not b/c it will actually take that long, that's just when I will be getting home.
