Looks good. Have you heard the H&K system? Better than the HiFi? I would go for the B&O, IMO. Other than that, looks like a solid car.

Garage List
I would strongly consider the Nappa leather. You can get that in Ivory White as well. It has a much nicer, softer feel than the Dakota.

Can't agree more on the nappa leather as I was in one recently and look at the double stitch (see pix)... but the white one requires a lot of care & cleaning!

+1 on the Nappa leather. You guys get the awesome seats over there as it is. I don't know why we can't get these same seats here in the U.S.

Congrats on your purchase. Nice choice The options you chose look great. In terms of other suggestions, I have Dynamic Park Assist (Auto Parking) and Comfort Seats and recommend them highly together with Harmon Kardon sound system and 4 zone aircon.

Thanks for the feedback gone with spec as above after further consideration - Had Nappa on my x5 yes feels softer looks nicer but disapointed in its wear compared to my ivory Dakota which still looks as it did when new. I have park assistance and comfort seats on current 6er rarely used the PA found it too fussy and can park better myself! Comfort seats are great but thought I would try the sports ones this time with lumbar support to be different.

Agree on the Dakota wearing better, since this was my first light interior (Ivory) I also stuck with the Dakota and haven't regretted that decision. The seats is personal preference, I liked the comfort seats so went with them. HUD and full LEDs are the must haves IMO, the LEDs for both aesthetics and because I feel they will become common place over the time I own the car, so ticking that box will keep mine looking contemporary.
