Here in Portugal the design pack was only with the Nevada Oyster leather seats, I wanted them in black leather... so... no option for me.

Agonising over could leave off 4wd -but seems a shame. Could go for single turbo version -but the 23d does really shift and would be fun. But UK traffic? More extras and less grunt?
I went with the full BMW GPS navigation system (it's a over-expensive luxury I know). I could have considered an aftermarket unit if the dashboard allowed for an easy integration, but it really doesn't...


If you go sDrive, indeed you get a nice discount, and indeed the 4x4 isn't really "needed" for the most part - and you can now get the auto gearbox even the s18d. Really worth considering.

On the other hand, if you do want xDrive 4x4 *and* auto gearbox, then the price difference really favors going to the 23d - in my opinion.
Though, if the budget is really tight, even the 10% or less difference could allow you to add some extras you wouldn't otherwise...
