Question Finalizing my G80 Comp Build - Change my mind

Finalizing what I think will be my g80 build for March/April. I've decided that I don't want to wait for AWD, so here we have it.

Although I think Brooklyn Grey looks amazing, I always end up with black, white, or grey/silver cars. Figured IoM green would be a unique but not over-the-top choice.

Given the build below, are there any must haves I'm missing? Is full silverstone with piano black a decent combo? Anything I've picked that's overrated and I should cut out?

I get that these are personal opinion choices, but I value your opinions. Thanks!

I'd keep the CF interior trim. Also drivers assistance professional and parking assistant professional I would leave off

As long as they offer a lesser drivers assistance with lane change warning and 360 view camera I never have used anything else in that package

Please please do NOT get a moonroof. Comes with CF roof which not only looks much better/special but is lighter

Definitely personal taste but id cut out the driving assistance pro and parking assistance pro and get the carbon fiber exterior package. I'm too cheap to spend that extra 4500 or whatever it is myself though lol im doing a low option iomg silverstone interior m3 comp with awd hopefully...I think the only option I was thinking about adding was the cf interior trim. Its a shame you have to get the full executive package to get the HUD...pretty sure hud is standard in the UK

Moonroof is that the "window" on the roof? if so...give me your adress, I will hunt you down ! you get for free a carbon roof and you exhange it for some light..? man...don't, please!

go for the red breakes caliper...looks imo better on the IOMG.


and last...I want your prices -.- I pay in Switzerland starting price on 6MT 123k (in USD)...the difference is insane...

I agree on the CF interior. I would do red brake calipers on IOMG even with the silver stone interior.

Tour options look great but I would not do drivers professional and am on the fence with full Merino leather. Would definitely not do sunroof and couldn't tell you the last time I've opened mine. The Dravit Grey may be a option I want also so it would justify not getting full leather. I am really torn on whether to get AWD.

Delete the moonroof. Once it's gone you'll never miss it again.

Great advice all. TBH, I completely overlooked that I'd be throwing away the CF roof for a moonroof. Awesome catch.

I'm also swaying toward the CF trim and red calipers that your input helped me reconsider.

Much appreciated! I want to get this one right.

You're doing the right thing by soliciting advice given the amazing (but ridiculously large) number of possible combinations. I have gone back and forth in my head 100 x since September 23rd, and I still don't know what I'm going to do.

I can't believe that's all you get for $83k. Car prices are plain nuts these days. Also thankful that if I do pull the trigger, I get so much more for my money.

Anyhow, I'd ditch the driver assistance stuff and get some carbon. Shit can the moonroof as well. IoM green will be nice. Congratulations.

I'd do red calipers. I'm planning on IOMG and doing red calipers. Also, skip the moon roof and keep the carbon fiber roof.

interesting folks are suggesting against driver assist stuff... Outside the off-centred radar sensor aesthetically, the features themselves are quite great and just tangibly, 1700 bucks for them is much more useful than 2550 for full leather. But maybe I'm just a stupid millennial driver

other than that.. what folks said: red calipers and carbon inlays a better bet for you. Getting the carbon trims also rolls in carbon steering wheel and carbon shift paddles, a much more elevated experience!

I would definitely remove the piano black trim. It's impossible to keep fingerprint proof, and really the CF trim takes it to another level.

To those saying he should get the CF roof over the sunroof, let the man get what he wants in this slot. I love the CF roof, but I value the sunroof all day. I use it religiously, and wouldn't buy one without it.

I'll echo what others have said and ditch the ZPY. I'd keep ZPK though, the integrated dash cam might come in handy one day, and the parking sensors/assistance etc is worth it's weight in gold for when the SO drives
What are the individual shadowline headlights?

Base car comes with the lane change warning (part of 5AS), you'll need parking assistance pro for the 360 camera, though, not too bad for $800 and it includes the drive recorder (a little useless, but if you don't typically equip yourself with a dash cam, it could prove valuable in the event of an accident).

Delete moonroof, keep black calipers. Red calipers in my opinion clashes with the IOMG.

This! Black calipers in my opinion. Green car with red calipers seem on the verge of color riot. Red calipers look better on neutral colors like grey, black, white etc...since your car is green, go with black. Even blue calipers will look better than red

Is the ugly off centered sensor on the front grill for the parking assistant pro package or just the driving assistant package?

IMO all thats needed is

IMOG
Carbon Buckets
Carbon Exterior package
decent wheels

everything else is just "extra"


I wonder how much weight the CF exterior package weighs? add weight to look fast? lol this is a late night thought that recently came up lol

Carbon Buckets are a need haha

Why would you not add carbon fiber interior trim if you have the carbon exterior, carbon roof & carbon seats?

I don't think the carbon exterior package would add weight. You're replacing non-CF parts with CF parts (diffuser, mirror caps, lip) so in theory it should be lighter, except for replacing the front mesh with solid pieces which might be slightly heavier. We're talking a pound or two IMO.
