335i Urgent Advise Needed !!

Hey Guys

Newbie here and am in the process of buying my first 3 series which has been a dream for a while (coming from a VW GTI). Am considering purchasing a new 335i in the UAE and would appreciate your feedback on the following -

A 2013 fully loaded New Old Stock Luxury Line model with the AC Schintzer body kit installed (front bumper and chromed out dual exhaust so not really ground breaking I think) by the dealership who is also a franchisee for AC Schintzer. They have quoted a price of approx $53k (assume there will be some room for negotiation on this given that the car is 2 years old)

A 2015 brand new fully loaded Sport Line stock model and they have quoted $61k (price is firm as its a 2015 model)

I know that these prices will seem ridiculous compared to the US but unfortunately we are constrained with the two stealerships that we have here.

I have the following questions -

A. Would you recommend to save the approx $8k and go with the older 2013 luxury line model as opposed to the 2015 sport line one ? Not sure if there will be a significant different when it comes time to resell the car 3 years down the road ? The warranty and 5 year ultimate service package are the same for both as they haven't been registered to anyone yet.

B. Will having an AC schintzer body kit have an impact on resale ?

C. I love the red leather sport seats on the sport line but not sure given the $8k price difference if it's worth getting it over the cheaper luxury line version. The luxury line seats are pretty plain looking so would be great if people that were on the fence in the past for both could comment

D. How does the Saddle Brown Leather seats hold up over time vs. the Red Leather Sport seats (esp. with jeans stains etc.)

Appreciate all your thoughts

Thanks

I didn't have to read much when I saw AC Schnitzer. 2015 without a doubt...
