Well I have not ordered the car yet. Getting close, still haggling The ivory really scares me but I love the color contrast. I have beige in my current X and it held up pretty well with minimum maintenance. I will definitely look into getting the seats treated as I have one toddler.

Cool. I would love to have the Multi seats but I don't know what to replace. My car is garage kept so the heated wheel/seats would really be a luxury item for me.

I know right. I was going to forgo the Premo but I really want the comfort access. The upgraded seats is the one option I am still on the fence about.

Then I would use the savings to add the multi contour seats where you will spend A LOT OF TIME using it. Also, for $950 only, I would consider those 20". They make the car look so expensive. And white leather for long term is not realistic. Get Terra, Black or if you must have a light color, then the Beige.
All very valid points. Everyone is saying the multi seats is the way to go so I am still contemplating this upgrade. I like the look of the 20s but I have not driven the X with such large tires. Does it negatively effect the steering/ride?

Had not considered it probably because I don't know what I am missing.

I'd have to agree with most others on seats though. I'm not a very big guy...5'6" 165 lbs mesomorph... but I didn't find the standard seats supportive enough. Fortunately, ordering the M Sport package gave me the sport seats with added bolstering. In your case, you'd have to order the MC seats, which I heard may be better than the M Sport seats.
I love music so I don't think I can part with HK. I have not compared HK to stock as the X I test drove had HK and it sounded really good. Thanks for your input about the seats.

Modest compared to most of the builds that have been posted in this forum. But yes it is a lot of money and that is why I keep my cars so long. That is the only way I can justify spending this much money on a vehicle

...Not my car but one I test drove to confirm my appreciation for this color combo with x-Line.
