I did end up ordering an M235i for just this reason - I could get the Premium Pkg items I wanted without the stupid hole in the roof. I would have been perfectly happy with a 228i otherwise. And it would have been a better autocrosser, though either way the car is WAY better than I will ever be, I am strictly a hack. But it sure is fun!

Plus, to be honest, I want to experience 320hp on the Autobahn.
