Hey guys,
For the life of me, I'm killing myself trying to commit to a chassis. I'm second in line at my dealer, and although still very early, I didn't want to risk forfeiting my build by my indecision, so I emailed my CA the following (he had emailed me Monday about the order bank being open--although we all know it has been open, just your order doesn't go anywhere):

M4
Alpine White
Extended Sakhir Orange
DCT
19" Silver
Adaptive M
LED

I have always been a coupe guy and currently do not need the rear space (wife's X5d handles those needs) and what's strange is when considering a standard F30 or F32, I wouldn't even consider an F30 (335i). So then why aren't I 100% certain about an F82?!? IDK if it's b/c the F82 doesn't appear to separate itself that much from an F32 MSport (IMO) or from different perspectives the F82 appears to have some strange proportions (but then so would the F32, so what am seeing?). I think most concerning for me however, might be the wheel gap between the F82 compared to the F80 (even the F32 MSport doesn't seem to sit so high). I attended the Philly Auto Show, and the wheel gap on the M4 was horrendous! I know some have speculated that the gap was likely the result of shipping blocks, but I'm not so sure as various pictures have also shown a more pronounced gap between the M4 and M3 (and I'm not into the "slammed" look). Keep in mind I would never invest in lowering the M4 if I eventually go that route.

Now too confuse you guys even more (and myself), if I end up changing my order to an M3, it would be as described above, but WITHOUT Leather, Adaptive M, or LED. WHAT?!?!? Call me crazy, but I think by omitting those options, and as a result my payment is reduced by $90+ bucks, I could somehow "justify" (that really isn't the right word) or compromise getting the M3. I don't believe my overall indecisiveness is primarily related to the $$$, but let's face it, with this being the newest/latest, highly anticipated next generation M3 and rates being relatively high and little negotiating power, I would like to keep the "price of admission" realistic. I know what you are thinking, why not get the M4 similarly spec'd like the M3...but for me it is either "all" (and my M4 order is hardly considered loaded) or a "stripper." What I most like about the M3 are the proportions, aggressive rear fender flares, and more distinct compared to a typical F30. But then for the vast majority (including myself), coupes tend to be more "sporty/aggressive."

So...anybody out there in a similar situation or someone similar who tends to overthink every detail?!? Help me out! Regardless of my ultimate decision, this is proving to be an extremely painful long wait...

Edit: I forgot to add some pictures of the wheel gap on the AY M4 at Philly.
But then 2 pics I find flattering for both cars (that AY M4 is actually my computer's background--great shot!). And the MW M3's stance just looks freakin awesome!!!
