I've got an '06 R53 and an '07 R56 ---- I consider myself fairly practical in my option selections...
My favorite options:
1)
DSC --- you just never know when that offramp might be slippery and you'll punch your last ticktet.
2) MFSW --- Cruise control is essential for Florida driving. Long and straight; you'll be going 120 mph without cruise.
3) AT --- the AT on the R56 is quicker than the MT. Also traffic-friendly.
The xenon lights are nice but not mandatory. I'd order the
DSC and xenons a la carte if you want them and shine the sport package --- the 17" wheels just increase your operating expenses.
Rear fog lights? Do you think they'll really help? C'mon. People run into EMS vehicles and trains. Buying the car in Mellow Yellow will increase your conspicuity 100 times more than those little lights (that I have on my Mellow Yellow car, btw, but not by choice).
I also prefer the solid tin-top. The moon roof on my R53 is noisey and hardly ever open.
