Opinion - a "track edition" 2016 328i

(i ended up getting the 328i mentioned in this thread)


i'm shopping for a f30 328i or 340i with manual transmission
most of you probably know how difficult it is to find a manual in stock these days
so one of the cars available is ...

2016 328i
estoril blue/black sensatec
6-speed manual
m-sport package
adaptive m suspension
track handling package
black grilles
$44.8k sticker

that's IT
the ONLY thing holding me back is the lack of LED headlights ... but i'm willing to spend the money for a replacement (either the eagle eyes or a full on OE-style LED ones)


pros
-has all the handling upgrades possible and m-sport package
-the 2 colors i was considering - estoril blue or mineral grey
-it's available immediately
-it's a lot cheaper than the 340i i was optioning for $54k sticker

neutral
-no frills - i did want driver assist but i could live without it
-no moonroof (used to love it but now i don't want it)

cons
-no ANGEL EYES!! and LED headlights (but i'm going to swap something in)
-no coral red leather like i would have optioned
-the track handling package wheels are meh

would you take the car as-is and slap some LED lights on it?
am i going to regret getting such a no frills car?
just want some opinions
