Ordering an F21 M135i

Update: have ordered (see here)
Update 2: took delivery on the 17th

I'm talking to my dealer about ordering an F21 M135i.

I'm considering getting a set of 405 alloys for it. Is it silly to suggest I would like these fitted in the factory rather than take delivery and retrofitting them? And that in not getting the standard 436 alloys I could just pay that iddy bit extra? It seems silly to buy them afterwards and pay ~£1900 just to end up with a spare set of alloys in the garage. Seems wasteful to me.

Reversing camera: I'm tempted but I've survived two years without it on my current F21 and there haven't been that many occasions I've wished it was there (I have sensors).

I love the alcantara seats in my current car but have no option but to get leather in the M135i. Yes, leather is cool but the alcantara seats are the one thing anyone getting into my car comments on... and it does feel special. I'll miss those.

Electric seats with memory?

I really want the 8.8 inch screen *sigh*

Test drive on Wednesday
