I could use some input on what options would be worth it / not worth it.

- Is the Merino leather worth the extra $1,900 CAD? Or would it be better that I spend the money on the M Performance Kit 2, and get the additional 30 HP? My daily commute is about a 10 KM city round trip.

- With all of the options I selected, (M Performance 1 & 2, Premium Essentials), the total options come up to $12,095). My dealer has a "special M performance" edition in stock which is pretty much fully loaded, including the added M skirts, badges, etc. That has a total "option" cost of $16,000. It also comes in Snapper Rocks Blue

Question - Should I spec out my own car, save about ~$4,000, and get exactly what I want?

Or should I go with the M Performance edition, which has everything I want + more, but also costs ~$4K more, and it might be harder to get a discount on it.

Any thoughts?
Merino Leather in a F30 for $1800 CAD (~$1400 USD) ?

When did Merino Leather outside of a BMW Individual become an option on a F30

With the brand I'm at, we can only work pricing the month of purchase because the programs change monthly. You can't lock in discounts from the month of ordering.

I'm saying this so you can get this questions addressed, these could help you lean one way or another.
In USA, BMW used to be able to lock in discounts for 60 days from order, unless that has also changed.
