Canadian Specific: Executive Package on F8X - Full Leather?
Hi,
Just wondering for most of you with F80 M3/M4, did you guys opt for the Executive Package which includes: - Full leather - Universal Garage Door Opener - Rear heated seats - Surround view - LED lights - Fancy rear shades I definitely want the LED lights but really torn if I should pay that extra $3000 for the remaining items. Of particular interest to me is definitely the leather. I think it looks nice but at least from a resale point of view, does that even matter? Would love to hear some thoughts. US pricing for it all is quite different so I wanted some more Canadian specific. Thanks! |

I love the rear shade as I park outside at work. The shades are excellent at keeping UV rays off the leather

IMO I think you definitely should! The leather definitely makes it so nice inside and WAY more luxurious. I have SO interior so it really makes it pop with some of the leather above the glove box and the stitching across the dash. Surround view is also super helpful when parking I find as it helps make sure you're centered in the spots and avoid getting too close to the curb.
Rear heated seats have come in handy for me occassionally as I don't usually have passengers in the back seat but when I do, they definitely appreciate the feature! Garage opener was a must for me as well, kinda dumb that a $75K doesn't have this as standard but the package was totally worth it for me just for the lights / leather alone. I'd also recommend the CF Trim which really makes things slick inside. |

I am usually an all or nothing kind of guy. When I was ordering my M3 the first and second time I was faced with this same dilemma.
-sunshades didnt matter to mas as I tint dark. -heated rears is a nice option to have, cant say my rear seat was used more than twice though. -surround view is good at times, I have it in my car now and have used it literally once. I prefer just a regular back up camera Leather dash and LED headlights were the biggest things in there for me. Everyone on here is saying they are both an absolute must, no question about it. I just couldn't justify 5k for those two things. Even as a standalone I couldn't cough up 2k for headlights. If the headlights were $1000 and leather $1000 I could deal with it, but the extra 3k I just couldnt swallow. You're asking about resale. Yes, those options do help you sell the car quicker, theres clearly a big demand for them. Will it get you more money, honestly, I don't know... I got top dollar when I sold my car without that package, and without adaptive suspension (I had coils). What I would say is, how bad do YOU want that package? You have to buy what you want and cross your fingers that when you sell it, you'll do well. If you get 2k less for your car because you didn't buy a $5000 package I'd say you did pretty well

You cannot really compare the options packaging between US and Canada since they are completely different. In the US, they "only" get their Executive Package. In Canada, we get a combination of Premium Package and Executive package, and Premium is mandatory to order the Executive, which make the Executive really a $9000-$9500 (M4-M3) package .
If you want full leather, I believe ordering the Executive package is the only way to get it. If you are not interested in the full leather (over the extended) or the other gizmos included, I would simply not order it. I seriously doubt it will have an impact on resale. If you do want the LED headlights, I would strongly recommend the Driver's Assistance package (formally Technology Package) since it will allow you to code the cool Anti-Dazzle High beams; plus, you now get Speed Limit Info added for free starting in 2017 as part of that package.

I skipped it. The only things that interested me in the package were full leather and the universal garage remote. I skipped on full leather and just ended up getting the universal garage door opener as a $250 option.
