Some of us live in states where we do not have a front license plate, so there is no need to install the front bracket. Having the the empty bracket or the holes can mar the look of the car.

No dealer stickers/logos on the rear deck lid

No pin stripe :-)

In all seriousness, since you are ordering the car, its already spoken for, so it will not even come out for a test drive or anything once it arrives. She's all yours.

However, you can ask the dealer to allocate you a car that is about to go into production (where they can still modify the specs to your liking). This way you can grab a car that is about to be made and is about 4 weeks away from delivery. If you get a brand new allocation, then it may be a few weeks before it even goes into production. Dealers even have agreements to swap allocations with each other if needed. You should try and minimize the time it takes for you car to arrive once ordered

You should consider the Dynamic Damper Control. Its only 1K more and you get to control how the suspension feels from Comfort to Sport.

Last thing we need is another person complaining about how their F10 handles like a boat and hates how it feels.....
