It's more like, if I'm going to spend all that money in full leather, I might as well get something other than black. If the contrasting stitching were free, I'd go that way: all black with orange stitching.

I saw a Phoenix yellow or whatever they've named it M3 this afternoon. It was great looking too. I might prefer that over Sakhir

I am soooo considering going and ordering a new M4 so I can totally relate to part of this question, for me it was extended leather or full leather ... I have full leather in my R8 and honestly the dashboard and whatever else is include I really don’t notice anymore, we had the full leather in our GL450 and after a little time I didn’t notice it.

My vote is go for extended leather ... as far as the competition package I haven’t even considered it, this car is soooo bad ass unless I was to track the car and know what the f**k i’m doing an amateur like me would never notice the difference,

The ZCP doesn't really make it faster not would I care about extra speed. The big deal is that it has better traction, response, exhaust and of course, ///M-striped seatbelts.

It has unanimously been said that that is how the M3/4 should have been form the beginning.

From a resale standpoint if you're getting a moonroof I'd get leather.

If I were buying, it'd be CF roof and cloth seats. I really like the look of that cloth and I prefer them for a daily driver. And moonroofs are not my thing.

I agree with moonroof+leather. My wife likes the cloth but thinks leather is best for kids but full leather isn't worth it. Unlike the LR4, which we still plan on keeping forever, I see this M3 as a 4-6 year ownership thing, so resale will play a role -particularly when it will be a well-cared-for, low mileage example. I don't want to sell a unicorn.

I wish I didn't care about the moonroof, but I really like the light, cooling, and venting.

I think the CF roof purists are going to want the coupe anyway. Since you’re buying the sedan, might as well have the moonroof you want. (And I agree with you about how essential they are—but, then, I drive a convertible.)

I might, too (but I did go Estoril, which is half the way there.) Yas Marina and Porsche's Miami Blue seem really close to me.

My big problem with the blue is that I can't think of it without thinking of Broad City.

YAAASSS Marina.
