I plan on adding the M aerodynamic kit with carbon spoiler at a cost of about 2k on this car at delivery.

I get a call yesterday offering me a Glacier Silver 335 xdrive Msport sedan with black interior and premium package with front and back park distance control. Missing the Variable sport steering, M adaptive susp. and Sirius BUT this car also has:

M aerodynamic kit
M performance brakes with red calipers
M performance carbon mirror caps
20" wheels and tire upgrade
M performance interior carbon fiber trim
19" 403M wheels thrown in with new winter tires
Tinted windows

Difference in price is approx $100 a month for the Glacier over 48 month lease so about 5k.

Need to decide today.

Thoughts?

Glacier

Keep your order. 19's are harsh as it is, 20's no way.
With Xdrive the DHP suspension includes only the adaptive dampers, it won't get the lower and stiffer springs.
That might be a good thing as you ordered the 19's.

The coral red is a sweet interior, especially with MG outside.
Good choice.

Thanks for all the advice I decided to stick with my original car. Even though those brakes are super sexy I can't get past the contrast of carbon on silver. Plus the interior is black with black carbon. Too dark. The coral red with aluminum hex is more lively and just as sporty. 20 inch wheels would be devastatingly rough on the ride. I have 18s now and I find that I feel every bump in the road. Plus I don't love those wheels I much prefer the 403m 19s. Whoever was wondering about the M sport vs M performance brakes the M sport are factory installed bigger calipers and are blue like the m5 whereas the M performance are cross drilled disks in the front with 4 piston brembo calipers and 2 piston calipers in the back. Stopping power is increased but not something I really need since I'll never track the car.

Tbh I never understood the 20" wheel option on a 3 series. Seems too big and cartoonish

Yeah, 20'' is way too much
