I am finalizing my order on a 2014.I cant decide between the 20 inch wheels Vs active seats.I was about to go with the 19 inch wheels as I was worried with the ride quality/noise that is inherent with the larger wheels.Active seats seem to be mostly hated and the least used feature among the owners.Appreciate some input here.

I had active seats in my 5 and hated it. Never used it and it was too weird when I did. I have both 20" on my 750 and 19" on my two LI's. No matter what, the 19" ride much smoother!!!! Much smoother!! but the 20" look nicer. Function over form or form over function?

BTW, glad you're ordering your car, you're going to get exactly what you want that way and it's kind of fun to see where your car is on the water or in the queue during your morning coffee!

Yes, We thought hard about it and decided to order one that we would love driving everyday without second thought.I know it's a lease but I didn't want to end up second guessing anf regretting not ordering something that I wanted.Thanks for the help there.The style 252 wheels seem nice.Can we order the car with them than the regular 19 the come with the m sport?I live 2 hrs away from the closest dealer and don't want to deal with tyre problems.I will order with the 19 inch wheels .

I like the M-Sport wheels that are 19". No matter which 19" rim style you go with, the ride is fantastic over the 20". Im not sure if you can order the car having m-sport wheels without the m-sport package, but remember, the m-sport package is free, the option credit is a line item dedication, so you might as well order the m-sport, it won't cost anything and it really dresses up the car.

What colors and options are you getting?

Good choices. You know though with the fineline trim, you do not get the nice hat shelf wood piece or the oh-shit handles that have wood either. If you want the most wood for the buck, I would go with Dark Ash or Light Poplar. Executive is a must. Driver Assistance is a must (I use the side cameras all the time) LED lighting really looks nice. B&O was a waste of money in my opinion, my 5 had it and I personally didn't find it a good value. ARS must must must and ACC is very cool too, though requires much more than you would expect. It's an active system that does require some intervention.

Alpine White looks fantastic, Saddle with Light Poplar look amazing, lots of color.
Great choices, you're going to love the car!

Grab handles above the window and the rear most shelf of the car (where the speakers are and the headrests are). I can take pictures if you need them.
