Nope...got all/everything I wanted on the car. I do wish it came with the ambient lighting that the 3 series has with the 335i.

MastaMind · 12-02-2008, 07:31 AM

I wouldn't change a damn thing. It sucks that some people are having issues with comfort access. I love mine and have never had a problem starting the car with my key in my pocket.

AW 135
-6MT
-Sports Package
-Coral Leather
-Heated Seats
-Comfort Access

rocketpop · 12-02-2008, 08:42 AM

I don't think I would do any thing different.

adrean8j · 12-02-2008, 08:47 AM

I do not have any 'regrets' persay. But if I was ordering new right now I would get Crimson Red, BLUETOOTH(this is actually a real regret), and PDC. Bluetooth should be standard on bimmers IMHO due to the cost of vehicle anyway.....

WhiteOne · 12-02-2008, 01:13 PM

I would like to delete the sunroof.
I would like a dark headliner.
I would like cloth seats.
I would like Non Run Flat Tires.
I would like a real LSD.

esses · 12-02-2008, 01:59 PM

I would have waited for BMW to offer performance parts from the factory.

Heinzftw · 12-03-2008, 03:10 AM

Haven't ordered one of yet. But, mine would be:
Sports package
Comfort Access
Premium Sound
Power Front seats (for the side mirror parking assist)
Ipod & Usb

jbenington86 · 12-03-2008, 05:26 AM

i wish i would have gotten rear park assist (and no i havent backed into anything *knock on wood*) and blutooth

bily · 12-03-2008, 07:19 AM

Xenon Lights & Coral Red Interior
CA would just be a bonus

Vidge · 12-03-2008, 07:24 AM

I would have gone for Logic 7, as i dont think the standard speakers are good enough, and i woul have had heated seats and comfort access.

other than that very very happy

...Love the Comfort Access!

I would have not gotten the premium audio. It's total crap and sounds worse than the regular audio (see the threads about the distortion we get with logic 7). I don't know if I would have spend the money on HD radio either. It doesn't really sound that much better to me and doesn't work unless you are pretty much right under the station's transmitter. I still have mixed feelings about the premium package. I would have liked the extra lights (especially those for the mirrors on the sun shades) but I'm really happy I don't have power seats. CA would have been nice but no where near worth the $500 it costs so I don't regret it.

soupy · 12-03-2008, 01:17 PM

With my new garage, I kinda want folding sideview mirrors now and those reverse parking sensors. Bluetooth would actually be nice instead of getting a 'hey look, a typical bmw cock with a bluetooth' headset (but I think I can retrofit it).

Part of me also wishes that I waited longer so I could've taken up on those great 2008 M3 deals out now.

shmee150 · 12-05-2008, 07:47 AM

I wouldn't have changed anything! Although I'll admit that might have been because I was restricted on an absolute value of the car (£25k, and went to £18.00 under that!) haha, but 10 weeks and 5k miles and it's AMAZING!!!

Dr_Jones · 12-05-2008, 07:24 PM

sat radio....probably hdradio also now that my favorite sirius stations are being watered down with XM bs.

maybe different wheels...other than that my stripper suits me just fine

BY FAR the best response yet. Thanks for that

Rawhide · 12-07-2008, 09:46 AM

I was fishing for deals on the remaining '08s so I didn't have a lot of say on the options.

Mine has the premium and cold weather packages, and sure there are times I think things like the premium audio would be nice to have.

But you know what? Even after a month I still grin every time I press the start button so I guess that means I'm pretty damn happy with it.

Seriously, we're all driving new BMWs here. Think about that for a minute...

Our lives are good.

randomquickness · 12-07-2008, 09:51 AM

I regret not getting CA and BMW Assist. still no regrets about not getting the premium pack though.

theanhdy · 12-11-2008, 01:35 AM

Midgad · 12-11-2008, 05:02 PM

E.D.!..
Nooo, not that one, I dont have that problem!

EUROPEAN DELIVERY!

1Ronnie · 12-11-2008, 05:49 PM

On the whole, Lucy's perfect !! I definately wouldn't have got Nav in my '08, but I may have stretched to Nav in an '09. I also wonder occasionally about Sirius, fully integrated would be kind cool, but it is so expensive compared to a $50 stand-alone, which I got instead.

jps · 12-11-2008, 08:48 PM

I got a Canadian 128i coupe with sport (for the suspension) and comfort (for the power memory seats) package. I kick myself for not spending 250 bucks to get the heated steering wheel!!Bluetooth would have been nice but was too expensive for sure.
