• HK stereo is one of the best value factory audio upgrades around
• Sport package is a "necessity" for the seats alone
• Premium package - OK $3,600 is a lot for Homelink but you get some other stuff too

My car turned 66,666 miles this morning.

Like the OP I plan to order a new one soon (exact same specs in Mineral Grey) in order to have the last MY BMW with NA I-6 and hydraulic steering. Also, I don't want my next car to have an iPad sticking up out of the dashboard.
Sweet!

I skipped the M-Sport package (Sport is no longer available) because the sport seats were available as a separate option and I'm swapping my suspension. I have M-Sport now on my 335i and, while I generally like the shifter and steering wheel, I don't dislike the stock equivalents. If I end up wanting something different, I'll change 'em out, but I think that's unlikely. Also, I seem to be one of the rare people who prefers the chrome window trim (again, old school), especially with my chosen color, and I prefer a light headliner, so no M-Sport for me and no regrets!

So, in nearly 67,000 miles, any major issues to speak of?
