I have 0 options. I don't really care. I spent the money on Mods. Do what pleases you. For the price of the nav and stereo, you can get a nice exhaust, rims, etc.
You are paying for the engine and drive train. The rest is just unnecessary fluff.

You have a vert, that's the pinnacle of unnecessary fluff.

Ha, that's one of the few options the car actually has - it comes with the aluminum trim.

The M3 in question only has one option, which is the blue-gray aluminum interior trim, that is it. It also has the CF roof of course. |

OP, as you can see, your going to get opinions from every angle about getting a car with options vs a car with no options.. my advice ( because I have a 2005 330i fully loaded) is to wait and get a car, or even order a car the way you like it.. 65-70k is not pocket change to the vast majority.. if your going to do it, do it RIGHT.
I have on more then just one occasion been just a signature away from used M3's, to M3's with minimal options. At the end of the day, I couldn't justify spending that much money on something, and not being 100% satisfied with the car... long story short, Im still waiting it out, and saving my pennies until I can get the car the way i want it.. MORAL OF THE STORY= GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT

OP, I'm not suggesting you load it up, but if you *are* using iPod/Sat/BT then you should get them. Actually I would suggest you get the iPod/Sat and get BT via the BMW-Garmin Nav Pro kit (which is what I did). What's more, if you order from scratch, you can go via Euro Delivery which will either save you around 7% more. PM me if you want a good sales person in the DC area.

1. Yes, iDrive 2. Extended is sumptuous (but one option one could drop) 3. EDC - would definitely choose again unless I spent all my time cruising LA freeways 4. Love the moon' - sense of openness without the negatives of 'vert 5. Fold down = major road trip advantage (storage) 6. Heated seats - use them maybe 20 days / year but love them when I do - especially early morning country drives ~ 30F 7. If you live in a hot / intensely sunny climate - most underrated option. Use it a LOT. -- V

OP; you're not really helping us to help you make an informed decision.. Do you plan on modifying your ///M? I'm not just talking rims, I'm talking hard engine upgrades, exhaust etc.. If so then get the base otherwise order a 2012 Fully spec'd. It's also a game changer if you're buying out right, leasing or financing. Don't worry about term rates, look at the residual rates and you'll be buying the final year M3 in it's purest NA V8 form! Good luck but give us a little more info EDIT - why are you only looking in a 200 mile radius? Try 500 that way you could drive it back, or even nationwide and let the stealership deliver it to you.. |

This is all very subjective, everyone has their opinions.
When I got my M3, I got it when Premium, ZCP, iDrive, Premium Sound, Heated Seats, iPod. I swore that if I did it all over again, I would simply get the car with ZCP, Heated Seats, ZPP and iPod and that's it. For some reason I thought eliminating the iDrive and Premium sound would make the car feel more sporty. Boy was I wrong. My buddy just got a Sparkling Graphite M3 with only Premium, iPod, heated seats, and I am glad with the decision I made. The car doesn't feel any more sporty or pure or raw by any means, it just feels more naked. I have come to realize over time that the grass isn't greener on the other side with things like this. Personally, I know this is an opinion, I would get the options. The ergonomics of the interior does not affect the cars performance in anyway.
