Its all personal but for me the red leather is the nly way to go. All my 4 zds have red leather.
This was up for more only a month ago u think it was 19995. him dropping £1795 off is a fab deal, look at the parkers guide.
Me I have always had heated seats except the new one, and im not missing them the heater warms up very quick and air jets directly onto you.
Sat nav my first one had it and it went worng 3 times last time went just out of wrty even though the dispaly was only 2 months old. bill of £770+vat +2 hrs lab at 110+vat. the did it for good will in the end and I vowed never to have one again.
The standard seat does not have the multi position like tilt which i think should be a minmum but I have found that pulling the seat away from the dash and pulling the wheel towards me I actually have more leg room and not hiting my knee on the side or dash, the seat is not very supportive like the msports seats so bottom does slide a bit but i have a small one lol.
Parking sensors, BT yes I miss them but you soon forget.
I dont miss the crappy old lights the zenons are fab
I dont miss the harsh handle on the m sports susspention, even a small hole in the road sounded as if my alloys would crack and the car bottomed.
TRINKETS are worthless in the trade in (learnt that on the 1st one). For me I would get a newer model over fully loaded, it will alwayts be worth more in trade in. Or get the next engine up thats what i did this time, now in a 3.0. M sports is another option as these are already loaded with things and the base price in trade in reflect it. Saying that this time I went for 3.0 instead of the msport 2.3. so trinket less but boy its more fun
P.S z5 love that combo, grey and read leather PERFECT my last 3 were that, now im in a silver and read leather not my first choice but would not pay the extra 2K for it.
the comment on boxters and price, yes they always do hold the price more but not as reliable, practical. basic thinking on the boxter site is that u need 2K to fund it each year, and the main dealer for me would be half a day off work each way. Also add another 10K on price.
Its silver not grey and it immaculate this is the link for it .

Funny you should mention about running costs of a porsche what does the 2k a year account for because i was considering buying one that has just been serviced so wiould not need servicing again for 20k miles or 2 years id they say what the 2k running costs were? thanks
