M340i cooling package worth it?

Hi guys!

I'm a week away from ordering my M340i and I want to opt for the Pilot Sport 4S's on it, which aren't runflat. I know I get that godawful mobility kit, which I've used in the past to no avail.. so I need to option a spare wheel. Apparently you can't option the M Performance Technology Package with the spare wheel (waat?) so I want to know your opinion on weighing these two options? Is that extra radiator worth it if I'm not going on the track with the car?

There should be functional cooling ducts for the front brakes so they don't warp or they should be cross drilled and slotted.

I will have to look back to see if I got these options on my car or not.

I know some Audi's for example that have a "cooling" package make a very annoying whining noise which is a "cooling fan"

I am pretty sure this was the Audi with Stasis Package.

If you care about the 19's & tires than its probably worth it for you as long as they don't add an extra cooling fan that runs constantly like the A5 Audi S Line Stasis Package

Well here in Romania, the 19s with Pilot Sport 4S's are a separate thing, and the radiator is a standalone 300 Euro option

I plan to get it because it is a bargain compared to the M Performance parts dimpled and slotted brake kit with red calipers that is @$2499 plus another @$525 for the matching rear rotors. The ZTK includes the same size front rotors, 19" wheels and 4s tires, higher top speed, and the oil cooler for What? $1700?

Yes please.

Not sure. Just a sentence I read in one of the dealership descriptions. The standard car is limited to what? 156?
