After having leatherette in my car for 6 months, and then leather for the next 4, this is my take on it It feels like a louis vuitton bag haha (leatherette that is).

Also, you can't get M-sport with a heated wheel as far as i know. The m-sport perforated wheel doesnt come with a heating option.

Thirdly, I was given 6% off on my finance....generally you should be able to get at least 4% if you really bargain 'em down

No & Yes!
No, leatherette will not rip and tear or sag. It will look as good on day #2000 as it did day #1 (I had it on my 2003 Z4 which I kept for 5.5 years).
Yes, leather will crack, (as well as look scuffed and sag after 6 years) - but it probably is more comfortable - I won't know as I'll ALWAYS get leatherette.
