What are your objectives?

Daily Driver?
Budget?
What are the roads like where you are in Miami?
What is your driving style?
Are you coming out of another vehicle? If so, what model?

Might help steer some comments on 'must have' options, etc.

I regret not getting the rain-sensing wipers. The whole convenience package, really. That's my only suggestion, the wipers. If you get misty rain in Miami you'll appreciate it. maybe auto-climate control.

I think the MFSW is an essential option; you have ordered the bluetooth/ipod integration, but without the MFSW you won't be able to switch tracks or control the volume or your phone from the steering wheel. Personally, I think that $500 is a lot to pay for a 1mm thicker rear sway bar, but there are a number of threads about that.

What is this option code 320 "Model delete designation" you speak of?

Why would someone want it?

No badge in the back (Cooper S). I like the plain look. I ordered my 911 like that, I like it.

Would it get rid of the ugly JCW logo as well?

Maybe you could give it to bsnyder?

It looks like a surfboard... Why does a German-owned car from England have a surf board in their high-end logo?! Boggles the mind. (and looks garish)
