For me, LEDs and full leather were the must haves.

For wheels, if you want to go after-market, I'd skip the 20"s. Otherwise 20"s and/or ZCP are a must. The stock 19"s are meh. I went with ZCP and very happy with it.

B&O would be interesting if not $3700. IMO that is crazy expensive for a minor upgrade in sound.

Individual paint or leather is all about personal taste in color options. I'd suggest getting the colors you want and investing the cash if that means individual.

The rest of the options weren't worth it for me.

How is the new LED vs No LED option? How much different do they look?

ceramic brakes are good but you can achieve fadeless brakes by changing the brake fluid, change the pads and add braided hoses and you get what the ceramics give you from a fade and braking point of view. (yes really!)

If you are buying this car to track it all the time then yes put ceramics on, but I personally would wait for the M4 and get that with ceramics on it. Or get a used M3 and put the M performance pads and discs on again with quality fluid and braided hoses.

if you are buying the car to have a bit of fun on the road then in my view, the ZCP pack is a must have - I've driven a couple of models with it on now and the extra feel on the road and from the steering is superb. An absolute must have.

B&O in my view is just not good enough for the cash. The HK. system is perhaps a little under powered by a few hundred pounds and you can improve it substantially. but if you don't want to do after market then go B&O.

Full M seats are a must have and for me fold thru seats very handy when you need space. 20s only because the 19s look poor IMO.
