Question what option you wish you had ordered?

I am thinking to place an order on my 3.0 gas X6. What should be ordered? I like everything pretty much stock except no hifi logic7 on it. By the way, I am in Taiwan so the option list is different than the states.

A52 Space Grey
Hifi/logic 7
red interior

any suggestions guys?

Missing Option

The option I didnt get that i wish i would have is the Premium sound pkg. I only have a single disc cd slot. The premium pkg has a six disc cd changer and ipod adapter. i have since had the i-pod hookup installed but its not the same because it doesnt charge ur ipod as the connection wit the premium pkg does.

I ordered the premium sound package so I could get the integrated Ipod hookup, I love it. Only problem is in the US it comes with a 6 dvd changer in the glove compartment which is not much use to me since I didn't get rear entertainment system. I mean you can burn mp3 discs and play them but you can store so much more on an ipod.

I haven't found anything I don't have that I wish I had ordered.

I didn't get convenience access, soft close doors, 20" or larger wheels, heads up display, running boards, or ventilated seat and I don't miss them. I wouldn't do without premium package, sport package, premium sound, multi-contour seat or remote trunk lid open.

I got a lot of options. Like comfort seats, comfort access (must have) 20" wheels. Should have gotten premium sound-reg sound is only fair. Really should have gotten active steering. With the reg steering and 20" tires it's a be-otch to turn the front wheels. Like getting a workout every time I park. Wife can't stand it. cheap

I have criticized the camera as not being as good as others I've
had. But you will need the camera, the slope of the back throws off the distance judgment.

One option I have that I would NOT get is the Rear Entertainment System. The flip up screen is always in the way and overall just don't use it.

I didn't order premium/hifi sound. but did order the iPod adapter fr. the factory, which recharges the ipod autumatically.
So make sure u order ipod adapter fr. the factory.
The headsup display is a must if u get the navigation system, so u can see the navigation directional arrows on the windshield, when u play music loud & can't hear the audio directions.
Adaptive drive is necessary if u carry passengers in the back seats, so they don't throw up when u do spirited driving in the twisty mountain roads.

Mine has active steering, sport package, premium sound, leather dash, soft close doors, automatic tailgate, rearview camera, and comfort access. There's probably a few others that I'm not thinking of. I think it has everything except the rear entertainment system. I didn't order the car, it was already at the dealership so I didn't really have a say in the options. I thought that many of the options were completely unnecessary. The only thing that I think is unnecessary now is the leather dash. I love everything in the car! I especially like the soft close doors for some reason! I can never seem to shut the doors in our Lexus GX now!

I have all the options I wanted.

However, I could do without comfort access, electric hatch, and soft close doors.

I did not get HUD or active steering as I had them both before I did not really need either.

HUD needs more info displayed to make it worthwhile.
