Advice on spec please

MarkyMark9999 · 11-16-2011, 03:11 PM

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie who's come over from the Audi side and am just about to order an M3.

Can anyone advise on spec and what is a must have?
So far I have been offered a white car with
19" alloys
DCT gearbox
Heated seats
Media package BMW professional
Bluetooth
USB interface
Heated seats
Internet
Sun protection glass (is this the really black side windows???)
High gloss shadow line
The question is do M3's have front fog lights?
Is memory seats standard
Has anyone got the internet option and is it any good?
How does the 12GB music storage work?

Thanks in advance for any responses for a new boy!

Cheers

Mark

+1

music storage is just that ...upload from usb connection to the hd

i would also spec the comfort access as well though .

I wouldn't waste money on High Gloss.(no offence) I'd sooner spend it on folding mirrors.

As said EDC, not only is it brilliant, but makes the car more re -sellable.

Nothing is a 'must have'. Some of the options are 'nice to haves' either for one's own personal taste or for reselling or both.

In the end it comes down to personal taste but I'd recommend you drive a number of cars for comparison.
