Haven't spoken to him yet, but I did look him up, and he's a BMW employee/saleman? at a new BMW dealership.

He's adding a $3k M Performance Exhaust, $1,500 carbon fiber exhaust tips
and losing the moonroof, for an extra $900... but I hear what you're saying, you don't get extras back in the resale.

If you really want that stuff, and you plan to keep the car a long time, then it is no big deal, but we are talking fluff here.

The car only has 600 miles on it, but I'd guess that when the time comes to sell it, having to say it's a 2 owner car, rather then a one owner car would probably bring the value down. I'd also lose the included service, for whatever that's worth.
