Heated seats unless you don't expect it to get below 32 degrees in Charlotte. If your buying it heated seats are a must for resale.

Adding the brakes $37575, perfect. I'm a old fart and this will be my last new car. Want it to be perfect

I like your build. Here's how we improve it:
Knock off the leather and/or negotiate from invoice, not from the sticker. BMW has yet to make a leather I can't wear down quickly. My 2000 328i had the leatherette and it wore like iron, still looking like real leather and without being tattered well after 170,000 miles. Yep. The self-described "old fart" owes it to himself to this at least once in his lifetime. (And, again, we'll negotiate from invoice, not from the MSRP.) |

Would love to but not a option. Having a daughter and grandchildren living in perth limits my overseas travels to Australia But ain't nothing wrong with that.

Pass on the LSD (only driving on a race track requires this) - avg joe won't benefit from it and may actually have trouble controlling the car. Stick w leather seating. I'm considering same exterior colour (MW) and interior (Terra) on an M235i, but may go with the hexagon trim w gloss black highlight.
