So, curious within the group here what options did you pass on due to cost or lack of interest in that particular item.
Dont regret - Not getting rear fold down seats and comfort access
How about you?

I let go NAv for cold weather.
I really love cold weather in the winter. I like to be at my office early (6.30am-7am) and let me tell you..the cold weather does make a difference.
I can always print a map. I know...not a clean solution but it does the trick.

Comfort access. Using the new Start / Stop button without it is a pain. :thumbsdown:
And it's infuriating that BMW expects us to donate another $1,000 to the cause just make this useless feature useful.

I probably won't remember some things I didn't go for. But, for sure, I didn't get the cold-weather package, HUD, active cruise control, heated rear seats, fold down rear seat with ski thing, and ventilated seats. All not worth the price given my needs/interests.

My Ride: 2008 M5 -- Exterior: Silverstone, Interior: Black. Fully Loaded. That just about sums it up! :-)
Living out here in mostly Sunny California I decided to pass on the cold weather package and ventilated seats. I also passed on the Comfort Access -- $1,000 so I don't have to put the key fob in a slot? I don't think so....
I also didn't get HUD -- My insurance knows about the more expensive windscreen and was ready to charge me more for replacement. Also there isn't much info that I felt I needed to see without simply looking down.
And then there's Active Cruise Control -- Nothing missed for me here.

I regret not getting Illuminated Door Sills. 
The only other options I didn't get were rear heated seats and rear side airbags...but no one is ever in the back seat, so I didn't see the point. I also didn't get Comfort Seats because I actually quite like the Sport Seats, and I don't drive long distances anyway.
But I haven't even gotten the car yet and I find myself thinking I should have gotten Illuminated Door Sills. Oh well, at least there's a pretty cheap retrofit kit for them.

I should have gotten the ventilated seats because it is very help in the heat.
