Well, only one if those things is actually useful, so that's pretty much the easiest decision ever.

I know you will say "Heated Wheel", but I'm seriously considering Lane Departure.

If you're in a cold place I think heated steering wheel is better IMO. I test drove when it was cold and after feeling it at work it was a must have for us

If you frequently have trouble holding your lane ...

Personally I would rather have something I know I will use, and I prefer warm hands in the winter.

I have the auto high beams and the heated sterring wheel on my 35i M-Sport and enjoy both everyday (the heated steering wheel everyday in the winter). The lane departure would be nice also, but was not an option when I ordered mine last year. That being said I vote for heated steering wheel and auto high beams. Consider where you drive most of the time. If you are in the city most of the time the auto high beams may not be as useful. Good luck!

I'm in Philly burbs area and it doesn't get too cold. I also keep my car in garage. Auto high beams would be nice if it was available as standalone.

I vote for the heated steering wheel. Never had it before, but love it now. I keep my car in the garage too, but after a long day at work, it can be very cold. I've had the auto high beams before and didn't use them much. With the xenon headlights, I've rarely used the high beams. Lane departure might be nice if you make lots of long trips.

After two months of research and with big help from members of this forum, I placed an order on 35i M-Sport with ZDA/ZDH/ZMP/ZPP/ZTP/Heated Seats/40-20-40 split. I decide to keep Driver Assistance Package.

I was able to get 4/17 build week.

Thank you,

Thank you,
Congrats I see you decided the ZDA was more important than the ZCW but added the seats and split. Good compromise if you figured the steering was not needed. What color int/ext ?
