Auto wipers do my head in.
Leather, heated seats, cruise off that list.

Heated leather would be a must for me on something like that.

I don't actually like full leather. It goes saggy and is slippery. Prefer half leather.

Do you have half leather by any chance 
I'm looking at Alcantara centres with leather outer for my next one mind.

Def leather and I think the red looks ok depending on the colour of the car

Can only get it with full boston leather.
GF's mini has leather without heating and on cold mornings its not all that bad, i do quite like it in my Audi though!
Never had a car with cruise control and tbh on the london commute i dont think it would benefit me that much + what you have never had you never miss!

Yep, but I do honestly prefer half leather to full. I actually wanted Alcantara centres but wasn't going to turn my car down just for that.

Reckon red would look pretty good! Marmite I think, saying that red wasn't my first choice of leather but it has grown on me!
Also, Ive never used the cruise control and auto wipers are a pain in the arse! Auto lights are well worth having though and I use the heating on the seats pretty much every time I get in it!

I love my auto lights and wipers. Although wipers can be annoying at times.
Heated seats are awesome, especially atm.

Not getting leather in a BMW would mean be impossible to sell.
Red is ok, mine faded like a bitch though and would never have it again tbh.
What about cinnamon? That's really nice.

Colour options for the leather are Black, Alaska Grey, Lemon, Beige, Terra or Coral Red. Thanks for the info on it fading, thats a good point and would annoy me somewhat.

I'm not sure on the time frame mate, mine was 6years old when I got mine, it did have a fabric roof so unsure how UVrays come into it, but basically mine was the colour in the photo when wet/creamed then went pink the next day. Pissed me off.
However the Terracotta is mont and basically the same as cinnamon I would have that

I'd still be getting the 120D with all the options personally.
Be easier to sell.

Not bothered about selling really.
Asked on the 1 series forums and they said Xenons should be first on the list (say standard lights are shit but tbh they cannot be corsa b shit imho) then anything else i want.
Also 120d owners have said they wish they had bought a basic 123d m-sport than the 120d they have with leather.
See i have bluetooth in my Audi and tbh dont use it a massive lot and its a £550 odd option on this so thinking now fuck that off, Xenons, light and wiper pack and full leather. Or really press the dealer.
