JackDar, et al, very thoughtful comments.

Ok, although I don't consider myself an "enthusiast" I guess by sheer reading and posting on a site like this at least puts me in the "interest" catagory, and I will opt for the ZSP. I'm not sure about the servotronic, but it probably wouldn't hurt to have it also.

I too like the Terracotta, it's different and looks great w/ silver grey, but I might tire of it over time (although I have the grey interior on my 3 series, I'm tired of it also...maybe just bored).

The light clutch feel would be a blessing for me as I developed a little patella tendonitis years ago diving a 325E with a moderate stiff clutch. I was driving in a lot of stop and go traffic at the time.

Any other "must haves" ?
