Question Premium Sound or Active Ventilated Seat Pkg?

I ordered x5 35d last week with following options:
Vermilion Red
Black Nevada
Light Poplar Wood
ZPP Premium Package
ZPS Premium Sound Package
ZRC Rear Climate Package
ZTP Technology Package
386 Roof rails
494 Heated front seats
6FL iPod and USB adapter

Now some one please help me here.
Should I go for any of the following instead of Premium Sound ( the price should be around the premium sound)?
1. Active Ventilated Seat
2. Nappa leather Dashboard
3. Multi contour and comfort access
4. Any other combo suggestions

I don't have any intention to take rear entertainment.

Or is the Premium sound the better option?

I'd go for the multi contour and comfort access. You'll use it everytime you use your car. Comfort access is a MUST have on my list, while the seats are great to have.

I'm personally not that into music. I listen to it, but I doubt I can really tell the difference between a great system and a good system.

It really comes down to what you like more.

I went with the Seats and the Sound. If i had to choose it would be the seats for me, but its really a personal choice and preference.

I have the premium sound. It is better than the base system (IMHO). Doesn't the Premium sound include the ipod adapter?

I also have comfort access, which is awesome.

I didn't care about vent. seats or a leather dash.

I also went for the comfort seats and comfort access, no prem. sound. I think the sound is already great. The comfort seats were a must-have for me. Comfort access is hard to do without once you've had it, especially if you're always searching thru your purse for your keys! Just my .02

If it were me, I would go with just the multi-contour seats or the Active Ventilated seats since they also include the multi-contour seats. Leather dash is a cool feature, but I would get the seats first.

I'm not much of an audiophile, so sound quality isn't a big deal to me. I also don't care much for being able to unlock a car without needing a key in my hand; I can reach into my pocket and press that button just fine.
