Sport Package, Nav and L7. Those are three main packages that you don't want to miss anything.

L7 = logic 7 sound system, 13 speaker including two subwoofers.
HUD = Head Up Display so you have to look at the dash cluster when driving. You speed is displayed on the lower half of the windshield, I've heard it works great just not like the M5 one, lol everybody wishes they had that one.
make sure you get professional Nav if you can afford it.
