HELP...Final questions before ordering 2011 35i

[by350]

I'm reviewing the online ordering guide (PDF) before getting ready to order a 2011 35i, but I'm having a hard time figuring some things out. Any information you can provide on the items below would be greatly appreciated.

1. What does "Sport Suspension delete" mean?
2. Does the Sport Activity model come with the fender flares, since it has the 20" wheels?
3. Is it possible to order just the heated front seats without the Cold Weather Package?
4. What is included with the "Premium hi-fi system" option? Is it worth it?
5. Under the standard features section, it says "Satellite radio preparation" yet in the options section there is an item called "Satellite radio w/1 year sub." Do you have to order this option in order to access satellite radio or can I skip this and call XM myself?
6. Aside from the following, are there any substantial differences between the Premium and Sport Activity packages?

• Sports leather steering wheel
• 20" wheels w/ performance tires
• Sport Package (what is this?)
• Sport seats
• Shadowline exterior trim
• Anthracite headliner

1. From what I read here, Suspension Delete is just a way to say that there is no Adaptive Drive on the package.

2. Yes, it will come with flares.

3. Yes, heated front seats is a priority 1 option.

4. You want to get the premium HiFi on the 35i since it only has the base sound system, unlike the 50i that comes standard with HiFi loudspeaker (midgrade).

5. Dunno... maybe the preparation is just the wiring? You'll still need to buy the actual component.

6. Nope...those are the differences.

Thanks for your help. One additional question...what is the difference between options and priority 1 options?

Priority 1 options have to have a customers name attached to them, meaning a dealer can not get a vehicle with priority 1 options just to put on their lot. It has to be ordered by a customer.
