Hi Guys,

Ive been seraching around and this forum defo looks like the best source of info on the F56 so hello to everybody :)

Im on the verge of purchasing an F56 (very excited) however i have a conundrum im hoping you guys can help with. for some background here is my build so far...

Packs

- Chili Pack
- Media XL Pack

Exterior

- Midnight Black
- Darkened Rear Glass
- JCW Roof Spoiler
- "17" Cosmos Alloy in Black

Interior

- Cross Punch Leather (Black)
- Glowing Red Colour Line
- JCW Steering Wheel
- Anthracite Headlining

Other

- Variable Damper Control :)

So here is the problem, i am currently at the top of my finance budget but i really would like the LED headlamps (although an expensive option). If you were in my position would you consider any of the below to get the headlamps?

a) Loose the Leather?
b) Loose the Metallic Paint and stick with white?
c) Loose the variable dampers?
d) Other?

Are LED headlamps worth that extra cash or are there any options which in your opinion are worth having other others?

appreciate all feedback :)

The LED lights are worth it... you get the distinctive LED daytime running lights and LED fog lights too... they're bright and look amazing.

You seem to have a black theme going so you must like that idea... don't drop it for a little money.

I didn't want leather... of you can live with fabric the black pearl seats are great. Not very dark though...

VDC... some people like it but some people complain about a hard ride in sport mode. You've already got the driving modes with the chili pack... maybe you should try sport mode with VDC and see how it feels?
