1. Forget that M Sport blue color as it will probably look dated in 2014 or so. Go Black.
2. Don't worry about the tech options as they'll also be replaced by new tech which renders the old...well, old. Spend your money upgrading to a 6 cylinder 335. It's the best sport option they're offering now and WILL appeal to buyers in the future.
To be perfectly accurate, I have already committed $9000 in upgrades to have MSport, Sunroof, Xenons and accompanying washers. A total Options budget of $12000 isn't exactly generous nor stingy.

Good points about the colour choice and tech upgrades though however the 335i is just too much for the budget I have imposed.
