If you are buying the car outright then you will be aware only a very few options give you any financial return. I know that if you go M-sport then many buyers 'delete' the sport suspension for the reasons you indicate.
The nav option becomes an expectation from buyers on premium cars even if the 1st owener has to stump up for it as an option.
I was in a similar situation to you and took nav pro plus a couple of of other options up to about £37K list.
You got a good discount but you will do well to keep it with any future additions. Many forum members punt for big wheels and xenons but these are style features which may improve the vehicle looks but nothing else.

I took the M-sport out today...have to say the bumps in the road were fairly noticeable, but perhaps even more of a problem was that i felt a little uncomfortable in the sports seat.
So SE it is.
Now for extras on the SE...the difficulty i have with the Navigation is that there is a BMW Station for IPhone which costs about 200 euros. This allows our IPhone to sit in a cradle in front of the IDrive screen and, with BMW link, allows you to use handfree telephone, navigation, mp3 etc.
This was in the Accessories booklet, but i'm not sure if it's available in the UK, the dealer is trying to see if he can get hold of it for me....
But if so, i am really struggling justifying the £2.5k professional navigation (i guess we all are!) and will of course opt for this instead.
Any recommendations on the BMW Inclusive Service Plus? It's a more than the BMW Service, and includes changing brake discs etc. which may be necessary if i'm doing so much mileage...?
Thanks
