2cents:

I'm only going to comment on what I have in mine:
- Sport Package "must have"
*Seats are much better
*M wheel/shifter are nice
- Premium Package "nice to have"
*Autodimming ALL mirrors works very well
*Leather is nice (go red)
*BMW Assist "must have" - hands free calling will eventually be necessary all states
*Power seats are a nuisance: slow adjustment
- Navigation system "nice to have"
*The directions are BAD, but I actually find the interface easy to use with practice
*iDrive isn't like it was in 2008. 5 hotkeys + HDD system instead of DVD-ROM = fast
*I leave the 2d map on almost always
- Cold Weather "nice to have"
- HiFi or HK sound system "garbage"
*If you want real audio, you need to pay for an amp and real subs, HK is a waste of money
- iPod Adapter "nice to have"
*ripoff
- Alarm "avoid"
*get lojack instead. nobody notices car alarms anymore or cares when one goes off

Other enhancements you're going to want
- Non RFT Tires
- Thicker front sway bar (potentially whole BMW performance suspension)
