Go for it Crowbar, the one underlying emotion running through all these posts is that the M3W is just such a hoot to own and drive, you will not be disappointed, the rest is just window dressing and stuff that we put up with because the car is so nice - if we haven't had enough of analogies, I would say it is like the woman [or to be even handed, the man] you love, they are not perfect, but you love them anyway.
I think that what we are all doing is saying things could be better, and with the best will in the world, we just don't know how to get the factory to do it. they probably would if they could but can't.
Order, drive and you WILL enjoy. If the worst comes to the worst and you hate it, I doubt you'll loose a cent on it if you sell.
