We're looking at a car on the floor at my local dealer that does NOT have it and I've been offered a fairly large discount to purchase it rather than order with the option.

Base 2008 3.0si
Platinum Bronze
Black Nevada
Premium Pkg
Rear Climate
Technology Pkg
Auto Tailgate
3rd Row seats
Heated seats
iPod & USB

This pretty much is what we wanted, save the keyless operation.

I'm looking at a delta of approximately $3k to take the one on the floor.

Opinions? Am I nuts? WWYD?

Thanks!

I got mine with CA as I got a good deal on an instock car at a local dealer that had it, and I really like the convenience of not having to get my keys out and fumble with gloves in winter. I miss the CA when I drive my 01 330ci, but it would been a hard sell to have had to order it at $$$ extra if I had done a custom build to order. Like some things, you don't realize how nice it is till you use it.... or lose it.
