Lets say all other options and packages have been choosen already? And the options listed above are the remaining with you having only $2500.00 to spend any combination of options listed above.

I would like everyone to give some feed back so we all know what bells and whistles to chose.

Lets see

Thanks everyone

comfort access
HUD


actually none of the above options would be essential for me.
If I already had all of the other packages and options maybe I would rather spend the 2500$ on a extended weekend trip

New rule!

If you do not spend the money on options listed above you would loose the money all together.

Hmmm

Under these (new!) conditions it's clear that the HD radio is extremely important.

HUD 1000$
Comfort access 1000$
HD Radio 500$
---------------------------------
2500$

This would be my choice.
I just can't stand an automatic car, so Steptronic is out of the question.

SMG = no cost option


But when you sell your car, the SMG gets you $1000.


So the effective cost of SMG is: - $1000


THAT is the best buy.

In a BMW I MUST MUST MUST have the Sport Package.

Beyond that I would choose Nav + HUD.

Transmissions is very personal, but I have to have manual.
