Plus, it sounds like this is the car you really want and have wanted for quite a while. Had you decided to "be practical", and get, say, a 340i instead that's where you likely would've regretted your decision and ended up ditching the car early to get the car you really wanted in the first place. I wouldn't worry at all about the sunroof vs no sunroof. Doubt it will make a noticeable difference in resale either way.
This is all true. I think my wife is also on "if I don't let him get this one, I won't stop hearing about it for 10 years!" mode.

...even though I've been quite reasonable and she herself shot down the idea of a GTI or an R instead.
