Welcome to NAM and it truely depends on what is important to you. I went with 3 packages that pretty much covers anything that I want...plus I got the factory arm rest which works great if your tall like me...but if you are short then its almost useless. If there was one thing that I opted for that my MA suggested was sport seats. They are so worth it and if you have the funds the upgraded leather from there is awesome as well. I am sure others will chime in soon as well. Let us know your thoughts so far on what you like.

3 words. READ THE BOARDS!
I basically built my dream car on miniusa.com. Then took each spec and did a search here on NAM. Depending on what I read (knowing that most is opinion) I decided whether to keep it or go back and rebuild. Most things stayed the same but many changed.

Have gone on a test drive yet? I would highly recommend it. A good dealer will have a bunch of different cars/features for you to try out. I also second getting the sports seats they make you feel pretty secure in the car driving on the twisties 
. I like the lumbar supports in them as well. I also didn't think I'd want the heated seats but they are great on a cold day or even if you have a bit of a twinge in your back. I have an S and love the pep and handling the car has. I have stated elsewhere that I have never felt this way about a car before but I hope you take some time and do the research to become another total devoted MINIAC!!!
