Go with the comfort seats and nappa leather and dash (you'll have to give up cinnamon in place of sand beige), but the comfort seats are an absolute must have option (even if you don't want the active vent option) and the leather dash looks incredible. Btwy, the auto headlights are worthless. I have it on both my X's and it never works for me.

OK, so I added the active/ventilated seat option today - I tried to resist the forum, I knew it would it wouldn't help my budget, lol. But...I have a long commute and I think this upgrade is justifiable :-). I opted for black - personally not a fan of beige or grey interiors.

blue dragon will become famous soon enough
The adaptive drive is so worth it. I shocked myself at how much speed you can carry into a corner with no body roll, and I'm coming from a modified e46 M3

You will be glad you changed your mind and got the comfort seats. They make a world of difference!

Black? In the florida sun? One of my cars has a black interior here in CA and it is a friggin oven in the summer. Takes longer to cool off that any of the other cars...

I have black now in my 545i, like the color - doesn't get too hot with the Alpine White, tint and window shades.

Not sure on wait time, ordered at the end of last month, and scheduled for production the 43rd week, which I believe is he week of October 24th - hoping to schedule PD the first or second week of November...
