540i choice of options

Hello.

I currently drive an M4, but my lease is about to end, and I decided to go with a 540i.

At this point there are two very similar cars available, and I will have to make a choice soon. Which one would you pick?

Option 1:
540i xdrive
Carbon black / Congnac / Aluminum Rhombicle
MSport Package
Driving Assistance Package
Driving Assistance Plus Package
Parking Assistance Package
Heated Steering Wheel
MSport Brakes
HK Sound System
Apple CarPlay

Option 2:
540i xdrive
Carbon black / Black / Gray poplar
MSport Package
Executive Package
Driving Assistance Package
Heated Steering Wheel
M Sport Btakes
Multi-Contour seats
HK Sound System
Apple CarPlay
Wireless Charging

Thank you in advance for the input

Option 2 for me but Option 1 looks more sensible to be for anyone who covers more mileage than average thanks in part to Driving Assistant Plus Package which should also include semi autonomous driving .
Option 2 also will you anyone covered in comfort thanks in part to Multi Contour Seats but I think standard seats is comfortable too .I have Multi Contour Seats , they're comfortable but I may not order them in my next purchases so I can live without them

There’s also exec package in the second one. It’s kind of superficial but digital dashboard and soft close door are cool, on the other side cognac & alum interior looks better to my eye. I can’t decide.

Why not order exactly what you want . Ok will have to wait for it but you will have your exact spec car.

I would pick #1, but that is me. I have the aluminum rhombical trim and I think it looks very nice on the car.

Like AP suggested, I couldn't find exactly what I wanted so I ordered my car. Took about nine weeks from start to finish but I was helped by the fact that my dealer had an allotment open almost immediately after the date I placed the order.

I would also suggest #1 for the driver assistance plus. Traffic jam assistant is a wonderful feature for a city where Route 128 uses the breakdown lane as a traffic lane during rush hour.

Another option came along, this one has both executive seats and the driving assistance plus. At first, I put my name on it right away (switched from the one with black seats). But then I saw that “dark coffee dashboard” and now I’m conflicted again. Did anyone see real life pictures of that? The car has ivory white seats, gray poplar trim and dark coffee dashboard.
