I think these are the important features for me:
panorama sunroof
leather seats
heated front seats
Is there a way of telling if it has better speakers?

You may want to look at 2012's if your budget will allow it - there were some packages reconfigured and more standard equipment offered, including PDC and heated front seats (both optional on 2011's, though pretty common). 2012 will also get you the LED coronas. Check this link -

Regarding the speakers, you'll notice in the link above the the Hi-Fi sound system became standard - this is option S676A when decoded. This option was not available on the 2011 35i/35d - it was either the base system (S645A) or the Premium Sound Package (S677A). You'd probably be happy with S676A or S677A but not S645A. The base system is pretty bleak, the 2 others sound the same to me with Premium including satellite radio and a DVD player in the glovebox. If you find a 2012 you won't have to worry about S645A as it was no longer used/available.
