Terracota leather is nicer than red IMO, get the leather, cruise and auto lights. My dads got heated leather inhis z4 and it just feels uncomfortable to me

Cruise
Xenon's
Leather in black (heated if you're fussed, I wouldn't be)
Parking Sensors (I'd only be fussed about rear)

Leather is not essential in a 1 series MSport. Its not like buying a 5 series in a manual is it....
The standard trim of the MSport interior is fine and will not detract any value at resale.
I had half leather in my 120d MSport and now have full leather in my 3 series MSport. Yes, the leather is nice, but can you justify the initial outtlay?

Personally i would go for black full leather (would be red if the car was black), and get the xenon's. Anything else wouldnt bother me.
I definelty wouldnt compromise on getting a cloth or half leather interior.

I'd always prefer half leather, full leathers too hot or cold imo.
I'd love a 123d

All these BMW interiors are making me fall asleep 
Personally id get the 123D in Dolphin Grey (not white as its old hack now) with xenons and red leather.
Forget all the poncy auto stuff and parking sensors, use your hands and mirrors.
EDIT: Cant believe xenons, and auto stuff doesn't come as standard on the top of the range car.

dont do dolphin grey
Xexons are great but to be honest there is other kit I would have before i paid 700 for headlights although they do look good
I would definitely have a 120D though with all the kit instead of a slightly faster machine but half the kit but each to their own

White is old hat yet you would go for dolphin grey which was circa 2006?!
It doesn't come standard because they want you to spend more money obv.
My Clio had them in 2004 std

My 8 year old 1.2 Clio has Auto Lights and wipers. I wouldn't miss them though and certinately wouldnt pay extra for them.
Whites only old hat because its been done to death. Dolphin greys so understated. Ive seen it on a 1 serie coupe convertible with red leather, roof down this summer and it was epic.

You've gotta get heated seats, we're entering a cold cold winter and you have full leather, you will regret it. I'm a half leather man and that's bad enough in the cold with it touching your legs!

BMW and Audi charge air in the tyres for a option.

I agree options are ridiculous. But then id never buy a new car either. Id buy a 6 month old one with the options to avoid paying extra for them as well as avoiding the hit on 'forecourt drive away' depreciation & VAT.

Not being funny but no one clearly pays for the air in the tyres as no one really pays the list prices unless they are retarded or its under a lease plan.
