Speccing suggestions please

Ok will have to check this out as well, so many options my head hurts.

I take it BSM would alarm when you indicate and there is a car in your blind spot? Is it reliable?

Iirc, it isn't an option on Pure

Don't have it myself but it is a little light-up display on the mirror glass that lights when car in blind spot. Do a title search on 'blind' and you will see a few threads to pursue to get user feel

Heated steering wheel,not going for this is one of my regrets.

Here is a photo of the standard DRLs.

Definitely!

Thanks for the DRL pic and another vote for the Tailgate, not what I expected.

(I don't have the electric tailgate and wouldn't spec it)

Controversial

I didn't spec the electric tail gate, but after reading a few posts on the forum I changed my order - its proved very useful.

The heated steering wheel is great, its a must have option (IMO).

One thing I didn't spec which is a little controversial was the pano roof - especially since I ordered the ebony headlining - but then I was going for a Pure Black look which I love.

Heated sterling wheel is a must...

The pano roof adds around 82 kg to the total weight of the car , which inturn churns less mpg, and also you won't benefit from it if you are the driver. I still haven't appreciated the light it lets in mainly at the back... Open sunroof anytime.

Optional spare wheel .... Then sell it to me... I need it after reading, that it sells twice the price aftermath..

Electric tailgate.. Useful..

Xenons to give you the bad boy Look...

I have the heated steering wheel and it's brilliant, I use it loads. Heated seats too.
Pano roof is great if you have passengers.
Magneride is great (I test drove 2 cars one without it and one with it before changing my order - I upgraded from Pure to Dynamic in order to get it).
Adaptive xenon lights are fantastic unless you spend all your time on straight roads.

I wish I'd ordered electric tailgate and an upgraded stereo (the standard one is fine, but I spend a lot of time driving listening to music).
I probably would get the space saver spare if I were ordering again, but really I'd prefer a full size spare (am thinking about doing some DIY with the boot floor covering to make a bump to fit a wheel underneath, or something).
