If You Had it to do All Over Again...
Newb and long-time lurker/reader.
Did my legwork here and ordered the car this week. I have some time to percolate/adjust on options as I'm waiting for the allocation to come up at the dealer. My question is-- for those in the car for a while, and knowing what you know now-- what would you have done differently with respect to speccing out the car? Options you regret not getting? Options that were a waste? Color choice remorse? Appreciate the feedback and all of the posts and contributions that got me to this point. Current build: 6MT, ZB, M-Color highlight, CF trim, JB wheels, Shadowline/lighting pkg, CF roof, HUD, wireless charging, heated wheel (I'm getting soft in my old age) |

One thing I have heard from others is that specced it is the wireless charging option in these cars is pretty poor, especially when using android auto or carplay the pad is more of a phone warmer vs a charger.

6k miles, daily driver. agree w JMcLellan on the black being a difficult color to keep clean, but i knew that going in as i already have 3 other black cars. IF i were to change that, it would be for AW or a frozen color- but its definitely not enough of a factor to sway how i feel about it.
everyone is gonna tell you to delete the wireless charger in a 6MT build- sounds like the right move but i did not spec it. i positively love my heated wheel and park assist is a must with the overhang up front on this car. things i did not spec: shadowline, lighting, HUD, CF trim, M color highlights, JB wheels. of those 6 things, the only one i MIGHT go back and add is the lighting package, and that would strictly be for the anti dazzle coding which seems cool. but the standard lights low beams are so bright that i regularly get flashed because people think they are high beams, so it is not a question of light output for sure. the rest are simply matters of taste IMHO |

I really struggled with the color. Everything I've had for the last decade plus is gray. Had one black car and loved it for 5 minutes every time I washed it, lol. The ZB thread here made me a lot more comfortable going the ZB route. Good info on the wireless charging. I'll do a little more digging on that. |

The only option I would've liked, that I don't have, is the cf roof. However, it's not worth the cost to me. The wireless charging and 5g wifi are a waste. The car I purchased had them, I wouldn't have chosen them.
I love the Toronto Red color because it has orange undertones. I don't generally care for red cars. HUD, lighting, shadowline, park assist are all great. I have the M-highlighted interior and everyone comments about how cool it looks. |

The only things I still think about
- Frozen Grey - Carbon Roof I went with BGM because my F87 was Mineral Grey Metallic. I alternate colors with my cars. Light/Dark/repeat. But I every time I see that Frozen Grey it looks great. I still think I made the right choice. The CF roof obviously looks amazing, but I did not think it was worth the cost. Also, I'm in LA and really like moonroofs. |

Bought mine off the show floor. When my sales dude called and said they had a white one I was like, "White? Meh." But he said come take a look and we really liked it especially with the cognac interior. And black accent parts look really nice on it. What would I have done differently if I ordered it?
Skip the wireless charging and e-sim and add on the carbon fiber trim. Maybe look at the all black wheels instead of the bi-color. That's about it.

You can usually bank on me getting a gray vehicle with a sunroof-- going to really break the mold on this one and get all of my midlife crisis out in one shot. |
