Help me choose options!!

I've been having a hard time trying to decide how to spend the money I have on my 1.

I want a 135i, with the Sports Package, Bluetooth, and Power Seats no matter what.

So here is the question... Do I:

A) Get the Premium Package and get leather, compass, garage door opener for another $1700.

OR

B) Get Leatherette, Comfort Access, Hi-Fi, USB I-Pod Connector for the other $1700.

My thoughts are to go with package B, because I have an iPhone and I've been told that with Bluetooth and the USB connector I will be set. But the allure of the leather keeps creeping into my head.

Thoughts?

Easy. Option B.

The choice is really between Leather and CA/HiFi/USB. Which one will make you more happy in day-to-day driving?

Wish I could help you but I couldn't decide and ended up with Premium Package, CA, Hi-Fi, and USB iPod.

I basically went with option B on mine, plus BMW Assist. I don't have my own garage, the compass is pointless if you get a Nav (OEM or aftermarket), and memory power seats are unnecessary for me, since I'm the only one driving it. Plus, I think a good integrated sound system would beat out most of the other stuff on a day to day basis.

If possible, maybe take away the CA and put in leather and you're only $900 further in the hole.

Most of the time, I end up liking a color in leather... In this case, it's Lemon. I like some of the smaller things in the premium package that you just can't get anywhere else.. So, I ended up with it all, too. But if I had to choose, I think I would get the hi-fi, ipod and comfort access.

If you really want the audio options (hi-fi and USB) then go with option B. Go with option A if you really need an interior color that comes only in leather.
