Yes, if you have the luxury of time to wait for a custom order, do that. You get exactly what you want and don't pay extra for impulse, or options you don't need/want. You can shop your order and get a good deal also.

Options for the different 3 series models are pretty complicated, so spend some good time with the build your own to get it right.

I too like the sensatec. If you plan to keep this car longer than a few years, it holds up better. I had the old leatherette on my 2002 E46, leather on my 09 E60 and leatherette on my 09 E82. I like the leatherette better. But I totally get ordering leather for the colored interiors. Saddle and red are my favorite, but if getting black, the sensatec is a good option.
