I think the space saver spare is the best use of $150 money can buy. Let's say down the road you want to get rid of the runflats? You can. Let's say you are 100 miles from home and you bust a run-flat? You can go 50 on the runflat, put the spare on and get another 50. It is just one of those things that is very very nice to have (to be fair, I was stranded twice with my M5 - it didn't have runflats nor a spare, so I'm a bit cautious - of course I'm in the same DAMN position now with the 1M).

If you think you might EVER get an iPhone, then get the BMW apps. The integration is really nice (I use it for MOG as well as Pandora) and the actual BMW app has some cool things in it (like remote unlocking). Once of those things I would really hate to miss out on if down the road you switched phones. Plus who knows, maybe it will support Android someday?

Finally, regarding color...go with your gut.
