Premium enhanced pkg for 230i coupe
I'm having hard time deciding whether I should skip the prem enhanced pkg or not.
It certainly includes many "nice to have" add-ons but hard to justify $4300. Only things that I'm interested are bigger screen and backup camera. I personally don't want sunroof because of the ugly look on my AW colour. Maybe I can get the retrofits with cheaper price? Did you go through the same dilemma and what was your decision? |

I went for it. Saves the hassle of retrofit n labor. But then I like having a sunroof. Mainly for the added headroom n tilt function.
TBH I don't regret paying for it. Love all the features from the package. But mines 2016 so not sure if yours is slightly different. |

I don't think sunroof gives you more headroom. It's actually a couple of inches less with sunroof than without, same goes with electric seats. Not sure if this is still true for 2017 model though.

I had the same dilemma and decided to order the enhanced premium package for my 230. I figured I might as well go big. I do wish we could order a la carte instead of just the bundled packages.

It's $4750 if you get it with the front + rear PDC. To be honest it's worth it.
My opinions on each individual options: -Auto Dimming Exterior Mirrors - Not that important -Glass Sunroof - It's a personal opinion but I prefer having a sunroof. Can tilt & get the air flowing through the cabin easier is a nice feature in this car. -Auto Dimming Interior Mirror - This is not too important either -Through Loading System - Is a nice to have especially if you ski, or take long drives often with passengers in the back seat to reach for stuff. -Heated Steering Wheel - Is a nice winter feature. -Instrument Cluster, extended - I would definitely want this additional info on your dash -Electric Seats with Driver Memory - Good for multi drivers, or if your car goes to the shop and they adjust the seat while taking it in for service. -Park Distance Control, Rear - Great feature to have -Park Distance Control, Front and Rear $450 - This paired with the rear camera gives you full surrounding warnings and also the Park Assist button to manually enable/disable the feature -Rear View Camera - a must have, for parking and worry about backing up with small children -BMW On-Board Navigation - a nice feature to know where you are and worth it since it includes the 8.8" screen for more crisp detail and larger space -BMW ConnectedDrive Services Package - not applicable for me...
