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.

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).
