But I think PDC is useful in certain circumstances. I may not need to look at it every single time, but I'm sure it will come in handy more often than blind spot detection. |

Rear view camera is a life-saver too. I'm only slightly exaggerating on that part... hundreds of kids die each year being backed over. So if you're not getting Driver Assistance Package, you're not going to get PDC either? Without either PDC or cameras, it's just a matter of time before you scratch either front or rear bumpers, or a wheel. Plus, it's gotta help with resale. |

I'm getting PDC & cameras for sure. DAP + Leather seats cost the same as Premium PKG + PDC + Cam. |

I'm not saying they're totally useless features. But if you're always careful, you'll never have an issue. And don't get your hopes up that these things will add resale value. It'll be nominal if at all. That's just the way it goes with options unfortunately. |

Driver assist package is the best. I love it and use it everytime I drive the car. The front end is rounder and longer than the e90 and I sit low so it's hard for me to judge curbs. This is great for that. Love the blind spots monitor as well but hate how they make u pay for it when accords have them standard. Lincoln's too

I don't really care too much about resale value. Actually I always think that's a stupid argument. Because you paid more for the car of course you are gonna sell it for more. Adding a $2k option doesn't mean you can sell it for $2k more comparing to others. Cars are bought to be driven, not to be sold again. I just emailed the dealer to see how much it's gonna add to the total cost if I add premium pkg to the build. |

You may be over estimating the price. Premium package INCLUDES the leather seats, but the website still lets you check the option. My dealer had to clear that up for me, the first guy helping me had the extra price on there. Trust me, its INCLUDED in Premium. lol

Adding both pkgs is about $750 extra. DAP - $1900 Leaterh seats - $1450 - total : $3350 Premium - $2200 PDC+rear-view cam : $750+$400 = $1150 - total $3350 adding both: DAP: $1900 Premium: $2200 - total $4100 |

$750 really isn't that bad when you consider that you get all of the above.

Blind spot warning is really useful. Depending on your seating position the side pillar is pretty beefy and can obstruct your side view.
Top camera is great for parking. Especially for not nosing the curb. |
