USB
Black Leather Package
Premium Package
Performance Package
Nav/Mark Levinson Package

The car is up in Bremerhaven and won't be delivered until Jan 15, so I'll post up some pics as soon as I take delivery. Looking forward to an awesome summer!

Thanks!

I would have to say cabin presence/comfort and the overall exterior styling. When I went on my two test rides in the M4, I was impressed with the engine performance and handling, but it didn't feel right. It felt like I was sitting too high and the seat bolsters were bothering me. During the next few weeks, I'm on the M4 forums reading how great the M4 is, and I was drinking the Koolaid. I all but made up my mind that I'm getting the M4, but I wanted to address the seat/visibility issue I was having. So I asked my CA if I could spend some time in a Demo M4 adjusting the seat lumbar, bolster, and height settings. I was able to get comfortable and had all but made up my mind that I'm getting the M4, despite my internal heart strings tugging at me to get the RC F. When I left the BMW dealership I thought I should stop by the Lexus dealership to compare with the RC F while the M4 setting was still fresh in my mind. I arrived at the Lexus dealership 15 minutes later and asked my SA if I could sit in the showroom RC F. From the second I sat down, my mind was changed, I'm getting the RC F. The RC F just feels right, the cockpit presence, seat feel, just the overall ambiance. Whereas the M4 is just so bland to me.

Additionally, I just love the styling of the RC F, but of the 50+ videos reviews/articles I watched/read, not one put the RC F ahead of the M4 in performance. And that was weighing heavily on me, I didn't want to spend $70K - $75K on a second place car. I guess this had to more to do with machismo, than anything else. But luckily, it finally hit me, something inside me said "f@*$ the M4, get what YOU want, not what auto media wants you to get."

After signing the papers and on the ride home from the dealership, I thought I would have buyer's remorse, but nope, just a big smile, both externally and internally. I know I made the right decision, for ME!
