Second that. Nav is big deal. But if we're talking options that matter for resale...OP left the biggest one off. The automatic. Sure, it doesn't cost anything anymore, but it is by far the biggest resale boost. It's a shame but the manual option reduces the value of a used car by over $1000, sometimes $2000.
If choosing things purely based on resale no charge color, auto, nav, leather, heated seats (don't need cold weather) and a backup camera. Anything either M performance or aftermarket just consider that money completely gone.
You would recoup slightly less than 50% of value on Nav. All things equal using a 15 M235 i for example the difference in value is $925. The OP's question was asking for opinion not resale.
