If you order silver metallic paint, then you don't need the chrome bits and the black and silver combination looks quite sporty (in BMW's you pay more to have black instead of Chrome!). The D already comes with a rev-counter. The only other options that should be at the top of the list are the Air-Con (manual is nicer looking than auto and works well), Trip Computer, alloy wheels (15") and perhaps fog-lights. CD changer can be added later.
One of the most attractive dash items (IMHO) is the large speedometer and the navigation system, while useful sometimes, does not look as good as the speedo. Probably better to fit an aftermarket navigation sysetem if required.
The standard Antracite interior/dash is much nicer than the optional bright silver and the standard Aqua Anthracite cloth is very good, so you don't really need leather. |
