Desired optional extras - what's yours?
Discussion
On my current 3 series I required the following
At LEAST a 330d, I don't believe in buying a 4 pot 3 series of any flavour and my particular flavour had to be diesel
Auto
M Sport
Professional Nav (purely for resale)
Xenons
Electric folding mirrors
Bluetooth
Leather
Sun Protection (nice but not 100% necessary)
If I was buying new I would also spec
Sunroof
USB
Heated Seats (one thing I miss on my current car)
Aux heater

I have, which i think should be specced on an expensive car,
Bluetooth
Pro Nav
Heated seats
Aux
Leather
Business/Pro HiFi
Coupe also comes with xenons / parking sensors and 335 has sports seats and i think extended lighting.
I also have 19s and rear tints which i don't class as necessary but seem to finish the car off nicely.
What I would have liked is the USB input and sometimes i miss a sunroof.

All I really need on a daily driver are:
Auto
Xenon
ipod interface
air con / climate
sports seats
sports steering wheel
Oh and winter pack with bum-warmers / heated washer jets. Once you get used to them on winter mornings there's no going back...

Must admit to not giving a stuff about resale - we bought the car to the spec we wanted, not what someone else might want in 3 or 4 years time - its our car to our spec.
Plus its on pcp with a guarenteed future value so its not a concern
Personanlly think its madness to buy something for yourself and worry whether other people will like it in the future!

Some do, some don't – which is why I asked the OP to clarify what he meant!At resale you get stuffed regardless of options imho.

Why does everyone wanted heated seats yet nobody wants a heated steering wheel?
I had heated seats in my Mondeo and there are heated seats in the E60. My E39 doesnt have them.
On a freezing cold winters day I get into the car, frozen and the one thing that I never think is 'Need to turn the heated seats on'. That part warms up on its own without faff despite the leather.
However, I end up driving down the road cursing how freezing the steering wheel is wondering why heated seats are more popular than heated wheels.

I wonder the same thing...but I've got a heated steering wheel! It's a cheap extra and for two or three months of the year bloody brilliant. I had heated seats in my Mondeo and there are heated seats in the E60. My E39 doesnt have them.
