DHP or No DHP?

I'm trying to choose between two models. Both are 2015s

Silver, 32k(and change), has every package besides DHP(tinted). 44k miles

Blue, 36k, has every package including M brakes at 27k miles


DHP really worth the extra bit?

If you’re going to do aftermarket coilovers anyways, no
Or you’re getting xdrive, yes
Or base suspension, yes
Or any other config , no

Thank you for the breakdown. Both are XDrives.

I don't plan on doing any modifications, either.

Any M part recommendations? Exhaust? That's something I'm considering.

If they're xdrives, the adaptive msport suspension that comes with the dhp is essential if you want acceptable handling.

I have a base f32 xdrive and it feels so much better with coil overs and a sway bar set. Get whatever upgrade you can get on suspension.

I'm thinking of doing bushings and solid subframe mount way later down the road.

If you want sound and looking for very minimal power increase, exhaust
Since you're not going aftermarket, get the MPPK

No other M products really interest me as they're mainly cosmetic.

This breakdown is pretty much perfect. I didn't get it because I knew I was going to want coilovers.

Regardless, DHP is not worth $4k. I'd bet that the extra cost is mostly from the blue car having 17k less miles. You can probably find a car with DHP and 40k-ish miles for a more similar price to the Silver car if you open up your search or are waiting for one to pop up.

Think twice about the m performance exhaust if that's what you are eyeing. It's pretty aggressive.

Folks, sorry for disturbing you - have one personal question,


Looking for a good online casino. Tell me, where do you like to sit? Which casinos would you advise with a good website design, fast and easy payouts, frequent winnings)
What about this one - Diamond Sky casino, found it here yesterday https://canadiancasinos-online.com/diamond-sky-casino, I would like to know your opinion, I hope there are experienced players among you.

How long are you planning to keep the car? Adjustable shocks which come with DHP package are expensive to replace. I suggest to invest in good coilovers such as KW Street Comfort after buying the car, not necessarily immediately.
