If you want to be coddled, Lexus or MB offer far more fluff than BMW. If you want sporty over luxury, BMW is usually a better fit.

I like that options are offered and not everything is standard. Lots of the stuff you mentioned, I'm glad I can leave off. You also bought the entry level car, so it's not going to have as much fluff as if you'd bought a mid or high level car.

A VW CC has a lot more content than an A3, even though they're the same parent company and roughly the same price. Same goes for comparing a highly optioned Countryman to a no frills X1. Personally, if you want more fluff, look at the F31 wagon or X3, the X1 is pretty basic, for better or worse.
