What would you do? Help me decide.

I'm on the verge of placing an order on a 135i, and I would like to hear my fellow '1addicts' opinion on which of the following options I should go for :iono: :

1) Navigation + PDC ($2,450) or
2) Boston Leather + Sport Package ($2,450)

As far as options, I really do not want to go any further in cost than $2,500. Any other combo considerations welcome. Thanks in advance!!!!!

I would go for options #2 .. I think the sports package alone is worth it !!

#2 is you best choice if you have to choose. Although I'd say splurge and get every option that interests you as long as you can afford it.

Sport's package ($1000) is a must, hence all the votes for #2. Which means you really have $1500 to play with in your $2500 budget. Do you want leather seats or technical gadgets?

The following options would be very expensive or downright impossible to add at some later date with aftermarket parts: cold weather package, active steering, CA, USB, BMW assist, and PDC. If any of these are very important for you, get them.

The radio can always be replaced but changing out the head unit is probably going to look cheesy so I would consider the satellite and HD radio options to be on the list. Same goes for the seat (maybe..), so add leather seat and power seat options to the list.

Tough choice, if it was me I would pick up CA, USB, and buy a garmin before leather seats, the 'ette has received some very good reviews from 1addicts.

2 as well. Rear PDC not worth it IMO - you'll learn the size of your own car pretty quick. Plus the sport seats are awesome.

Neither. Get the sports package, leatherette, a Garmin Nuvi 670 and take Euro delivery.

OK..........you beat me to this response +++1000
I agree.........With a budget constraint, drop the leather and get something useful. The sport package is a must !

Must go with #2. Also drop the leather and get rette for free! Save that cash for your first mod or take the Gf out to a nice place with a nice hotel room for the night...etc.:thumbup:

Say hell to the Factory NAVI!!= Garbage- always be aware of your North......every other place, will fall in line!
