Correct. But those things are pretty nice to have. Especially in the north east. The one we just bought didn't have cwp and we wish it did. But it had a lot of other things that made up for it.

I'm on my phone but my wife and I just went through looking for "the one." Took us a year. I'll upload the complete f15 options list pdf when I'm in front of the computer. It tells you what each package contains and also the individual option numbers. Very useful when used in combination with a vin decoder for shopping. These things could be optioned VERY heavily (night vision was an option). An average one sold for around ~$65k, good options~ $75k, and heavily optioned were $85k up to almost $100k.

Everyone will have their own preferences. But my wife and I want as many options as possible. Our checklist goes, 1 options, 2 condition, 3 price, and then 4 miles. Everyone shops differently. That's our process. We've found highly optioned cars in good condition are easier to sell on when the time comes as well. However, YMMV. Full disclaimer, I can do most of the work on a BMW myself. Makes it easier to push mileage further down the totem pole compared to options.
