What options do you regret of NOT getting?

64-bit · 01-23-2015, 03:59 PM

Me, the HK sound (altho the BAVSOUND stage 1 did fix that issue)

Rear view camera... I never noticed this option till I got a brand new Nissan Rogue for the wife that has it, now every time that I drive my car and put in reverse I look at the nav screen and the image is not there :-(

joz · 01-23-2015, 04:02 PM

Only real thing I regret not getting is HUD (heads up display).

Car has pretty much everything else

doobienewbiedoo · 01-23-2015, 04:03 PM

m sport brakes is really the only thing I wish I had gotten that I didn't Especially after wheel upgrade now they are just there staring at me saying you idiot you should have upgraded me....

spuntyb · 01-23-2015, 04:07 PM

Maybe the m sport brakes. But then, brake dust...

chazmink · 01-23-2015, 04:17 PM

Xenon headlights, heated seats ( I did have a retrofit done)

stormlv · 01-23-2015, 04:17 PM

I wish I could have gotten Tanzanite Blue with M-Sport...

tboooe · 01-23-2015, 04:18 PM

M Sport brakes and HUD...I can always retrofit the M Performance brakes but I dont think a retrofit of HUD is that easy...hmmm maybe I need to look into that.

exclusivo · 01-23-2015, 04:24 PM

I got msport w/coral red, cold weather, tech, dhp, dap, hk. I don't regret not getting anything, but I do regret getting the HUD and DHP, I think thats 2k I could have saved, although I haven't driven a f3x without DHP, but I'm sure it cant be that bad.

bahasad · 01-23-2015, 04:34 PM

Only 1 really - Xenon/LED headlights. It irks me every day that BMW doesn't offer this as standard equipment or at the very least with the premium package.

DHP would be nice because my car feels pretty stiff nowadays - that is great for handling, but the ride is a little rough to be honest (19s + Dinans + absolutely terrible roads of MI + the cold weather), but I think I could pass on that as well.

Jimminez · 01-23-2015, 04:36 PM

Headlight washers.
Adaptive headlights.
Blind spot indicators, maybe.

MisterPhilip · 01-23-2015, 04:47 PM

Nav, but only for the larger display + extended instrument cluster (I otherwise loathe in car navigation systems), and heated seats for the gf. Maybe m-sport brakes.. they were originally on my order sheet but were backordered and I didn't want to wait.

My first M-Sport was Passive suspension. The DHP is better--glad I got it.

ZilberGrau ZHP · 01-23-2015, 05:25 PM

The one that stops the wind noise around the mirrors from intruding into the cabin

Pauleebe · 01-23-2015, 05:26 PM

Technology Package

ryanSTL · 01-23-2015, 05:28 PM

i wish my car had DHP and M-sport brakes. i bought off the lot (after searching a 200 mile radius for a couple weeks)

otherwise i have exactly what I want (Carbon Black, M-sport, HUD/Tech, backup cam, Harmon Kardon, premium, comfort access)

Mike_L · 01-23-2015, 05:30 PM

Park Assist, Adaptive Cruise, 19" wheels.

Wanted Carbon Black paint, but they told me no.

jonkarn · 01-23-2015, 05:31 PM

Regret getting Glacial Silver. Don't get me wrong, its a nice color and always looks good. Cant say it ever looks great or stands out when sparkling clean though. I would go with EBII if I were to do it again, especially in the wagon, it would really be unique. Not a big deal though, still love the way the car looks.

Other than that I think Im pretty well stacked options wise and did my research before ordering.

Occasionally regret not getting the full cold weather package with the heated steering wheel, just got the heated fronts. In the grand scheme of things an extra $450 on a lease is nothing, although I was trying to keep it under the magic $600/mth number. Miss the heated wheel on those really cold nights when I work late and my car is shivering in the parking lot of my office.

Guess I was trying to make myself feel better about getting a $56K F31 by saving some extra pennies, lol. Funny how the mind works.

Oh and not a regret really, as it was a timing thing and I needed a car by last
April, but if the 4GC was out at the time, I probably would have gone with that instead of the wagon. They are priced almost exactly the same.

But don't tell my wagon that, I really do enjoy her!! I swear!

pazzo · 01-23-2015, 05:37 PM

I regret not removing the auto and getting the manual

OC1 · 01-23-2015, 05:46 PM

heated seats

Haha...

I guess the only major option I didn't get...DHP.

sr5959 · 01-23-2015, 06:11 PM

Rear camera for sure, dinged my rear bumper a couple of times as a result.

Also the Sportline (M-Sport wasn't available when I got mine).

Both errors will be rectified soon when I get my new GC, although I'm already regretting the options I didn't get on that...

I love the HUD, now I am annoyed driving my other cars without it. LOL

As to the DHP, I did a quick testdrive in a non DHP version of my car when I was shopping. Scared the salesmen crapless when I clipped the apex on an intersection corner to check the handling, he almost slide across the rear seat LOL. It was better than I expected out of a wagon....but let me tell you, the DHP suspension on mine is way better, even in comfort it corners like a pro.

I got pretty much every option on mine, if someone twisted my arm for something I didn't need I would say the side camera's, but I do like the blind spot and that all comes in a package together.

M-sport brakes would be my one, but they aren't available factory on mine, so doesn't really count. LOL
