Options/packages on 2016 M3

[335twins]

Hi,

I am trying to decide on the following:

- Driver assistance plus
- Lighting package

From the driver assistance plus i really like "Side and top view cameras" when parking, but for 2016 models i think i can pick that separately as long as i have the Exec package which i am. That brings me to the lighting package, is it really worth it?

Thanks

Do you plan on coding the lights to turn on the euro spec dazzle? (Go on YouTube and search for BMW led headlights if you haven't already, you will be amazed)

I personally drive a lot at night and I read on here that there isn't much of a performance difference during dry weather but the led headlights perform much better in the rain(can anyone confirm?)

The inclement weather performance and the coding for the euro spec caused me to order the led headlights.

FWIW I won't order it on my '16 (I'm also not touching the exec pkg either and going Spartan with Speed Cloth!). Lights are lights. They illuminate the road and the standard HIDs work fine.

If you search the forum you will find many threads and discussion about the lighting package. In essence it Boils down to personal preference.

The major technology improvement (adaptive headlight control) requires you to code your car to get the European adaptive light technology since the U.S. version is dumbed down to just dim your high beams.

hmm, i will think about the lighting package. Went to the dealer this past weekend and those look really cool.

Any other options people are taking? like tire protection, clear bra etc..

Thanks

I decided to do the same thing for driver assistance -- ditch it, but get the side and top cams. Also note if you opt for driver assistance you lose the storage compartment to the left of the steering wheel (it's replaced by buttons for the driver assist features).

For lighting, I'm planning to get it but it's probably the lowest priority option on my list.
