That's VERY important! If you plan on keeping it a long time, try not to compromise, get what you want or you will live with regret for a looooong time.

If low maintenance (paint care and detailing) is your goal, stay away from black.
If you're a driver and will enjoy the tweaks that come with improved handling and bigger brakes... F-Sport might be the right choice.
If you're a DIY'er, the added cost of bigger brakes, rotors, and tires shouldn't be too much... but if you need to depend on the dealer, the $$$ might be a factor.

Again though... buy what you want and try to compromise as little as possible. Good luck with your shopping!

Thanks for all the input!

So so I narrowed it down to a atomic silver and a white FSport both similar prices, mileage and options

Thursday I will go see the white one and Friday will be the silver one

i’m leaning towards the silver because my previous Bmw was white and I am looking for something different

both interiors are the black/red with the aluminum trim

will post pics once I purchase it this weekend!

Called the dealer and set an appointment to pick up the atomic silver on Thursday

its a 2015 f sport with 30,000 miles and backed with Lexus certified

anybody know if 19’ rims come standard on the F Sport? Or is that an option or instead it’s the 18’s that come standard?

I was going over some options and I’m a little jealous of the rear automatic sunshade and the folding mirrors which the car I’m getting doesn’t have but buying used cars it’s what you see is what you get

any other tips or things to look for before I sign my next 2.5 years away? Lol

Congrats!

The 19" wheels are standard on the F Sport. So is the rear sunshade. The rear sunshade is part of the premium package, which is included in the F Sport package. If it has blind spot monitor, you will have the folding mirrors. F Sports without BSM are pretty rare so it wouldn't surprise me if you have it.

Thank you! I’m pretty excited just sucks I gotta wait til Thursday to pick it up

I didn’t get to really check out all the buttons yet or carefully look through the options when I test drove it

I hope it does have the rear sunshade, so far the online pictures of my car doesn’t show the blind spot monitor button which I know is next to the traction control button on the left side of the steering wheel so probably manual folding mirrors

I do love the color though, it changes depending on the amount of sunlight

i already plan on tinting my windows on Friday

I have dark tint on my windows making the rear sunshade redundant.

Sport + mode required everyday in L.A. traffic to prevent drivers from cutting you off !
