Hi guys, this is my first post. Fantastic forums you have here.

I wanted to share with you my purchase. I last week ordered:

X3 SE 2.0d Auto
Space Grey
Black interior
Bluetooth hands-free.

Since my purchase, my wife has come back to me and kindly allowed me £2k worth of extras (up to and including the Pro Sat Nav if i want it).

So, i've been racking my brain as to what to do with this £2k on the car.

Do i upgrade to an M-Sport? Which with the 8% discount i was given will probably be affordable?

Or will it be uncomfortable driving 25k miles a year with a stiffer suspension/sport seats etc?

Or should i stick to the SE Auto and look at things like:

Reversing camera
Xenon headlights
VDC

Or do i just go for the hefty priced
Professional Navigation package

???

I know it's personal preference, but i thought i would see what thoughts you all had.

As i say i do around 25,000 miles per year, am usually in my car for about 4 hours a day minimum so want comfort more than anything else. A lot of motorway driving.

I have a Sat Nav myself, but of course i hear this is the mother of all Navigation packages.

But to get it may be to skin-flint elsewhere, so not sure.....

Also, how is the internal/external colour?

I'd been thinking about Havana Brown leather, any recommendations?

Many thanks

EDIT: PS. I had seen the BMW Station for IPhone, which looked like a good alternative to the Navigation package, am i right this is unavailable in the UK?
