Sounds great. For me, even in that case I still will not choose to purchase options I do not need. I am an engineer so philosophically I keep things as simple as possible for the task at hand.
Philosophy aside, I think the end result is the same anyway. For a $70k budget, whether comparing a stripped M4 to a stripped 435i or a loaded 435i I'd choose the M4. However, I don't necessarily believe you will be able to drive away in an M4 for that sum of money. I suspect OTD it will be mid-70s, especially since there may be a couple "must haves" such as metallic paint, non-plastic interior trim, possibly factory performance upgrades. Perhaps, if they don't take ED cars from dealer allocations you will be able to come in under $70k for an ED. But I would not count on that, at least not right away.
