I think you are quite right, but every now and again... I just think the "base" system in the car should have at least included an EQ. Rarely do I even listen to the music, its about the V8 99% of the time.

I'd like to get leather door panels with my cloth seats. I love the speed cloth seats...there is a function to it. The cloth on the door panels? Meh.

DCT. I have always had manuals and love them but the DCT seems like a better match for this car.
Of course, if I had ordered it with DCT, I would have answered this by saying I should have ordered a manual. |

I didn't know about the individual paint when I picked up my car as much as I do now, I would have gotten a Individual paint, like Monte Carlo Blue, Speed Yellow, Fire Orange, or Brilliant White.
As for as interior, I love my two-tone Black and Fox, just wish it was extended, which I don't think they do that anyways. Other than that, I love it! |

I've owned both
But if I had to order again No ZCP or edc My 08 was perfect without both Edc is a cool gimmick But I rarely use it The non edc was perfct most of the time, except when you wanted it firmer ZCP is a bit too hard on comfort, fun insport Never noticed the point of normal Only nice thing about the m drive Is the sport steering when it gets stiffer EPS kicks the HIFIs ass Sounds much better, much more power So I guess I had it right the first time My 08 had premium, cold, iPod, and sat radio (which I uninstalled and sold) My 2012 has premium, heated front seats, ZCP, eps, BMW apps

I would not change a thing. I ordered it exactly as I wanted it from the factory.

Very interesting thought! There is no right answer on that. We have a 135i Sport with manual as well. We bought the M3 for my wife as daily driver and she insisted on the DCT. After owning the car now for 6 months and driving stick and DCT back and fourth in our household.. while DCT is nice in many ways, if it wasn't for my wife's desires, I'd rather have a 6mt for the M. Yes, the DCT does so many things so well.. it's just that you are not quite as involved in the driving experience. Initially, I was absolutely wowed by the DCT, but once the amazement of it's performance wears off, you realize that you are somewhat of a bystander as you click away. But we like both transmissions... like I said, no wrong answer here. But looking back, I can see how a test drive would woo someone over to the DCT immediately. It takes months of driving to really know what you would prefer long term. There are things that the DCT can do that the 6mt cannot and that's great.. but in the end it's what your preference is, "involvement" or "performance/convenience". Here's another interesting thought. We won't part with at least one car with manual in the household... we would miss it too much...

I ordered mine for ED, so I got to pick all the options I wanted/need. It ended up being practically fully loaded (no cold weather package, just heated seats - by choice). That being said, if I had to do it again, I'd probably spring for Individual Paint, probably Midnight Blue. I have Jerez, now. $5K seemed like a lot at the time, and still does. But it sure would look good!

I would have gotten the cold weather package with my first e90M. Not being able to fold down the rear seat was really a pain in the butt sometimes. My current M has the cold weather package with the heated seats, etc. I'll never buy another M without it.

Really, would have skipped the DCT, the trouble I had with mine ruined my BMW experience.... Loved the space gray and fox red interior... |

No such option... although it's something I miss from my E60 alot. Why would one in Burbank CA need a heated steering wheel anyways?
Individual interior for me as well!
