Coding Options for 428iGC

Anxiously awaiting coding package from ************* and was looking for feedback regarding options for coding? I looked up my fin and these are a couple of things that stuck out and was wondering what they meant.
-5AP DECODING FOR NO-DAZZLE HIGH-BEAM AS
-8S4 DECODING VARIABLE LIGHT DISTRIBUTIO

Planning on coding the standard "cool" stuff like folding mirrors, etc.....but was wondering if additional options such as the ones below are worth it?

Extended Bluetooth Package (additional $30 payable during appointment)
-Enable USB Port Pair With Your Smartphone
-Enable Bluetooth Audio Streaming (A2DP)
-Enable BMW Mobile Office (Allows Text Messages to Be Read on iDrive)
-Enable Allow A Second Bluetooth Device To Be Paired To iDrive
-Enable Album Cover Art Over USB
I can already see Album cover but unable to read text on iDrive

Anti-Dazzle Headlight Coding (additional $40 payable during appointment)
-Must have LED Equipped Headlights
-Check out this video to see them in action: BMW Intelligent Headlight Technology

-Sport Automatic Transmission (additional $50 payable during appointment)
-Enable Sport+ Mode
-SAT Coded Features (Quicker Shifts and Improved Drivability)
-Sport+ Display on Instrument Cluster
-Launch Control
-Coded for Retrofitting Paddle Shifters
My vehicle already has the Sport+ Mode and Paddle shifters...what benefit would I gain with this option?

Thanks in advance for you assistance.

All 4 series already have the Sport Automatic Transmission (SAT) so this isn't going to do anything. Pre-LCI 3 series and other BMW models could come with the non sport automatic which has slightly slower shift times and you couldn't do sport+ or launch control without coding the transmission to behave the same way the SAT does. The only real difference between the two transmissions is the control stick in the car, otherwise it's all just coding that differentiates the two. Basically, you already have the SAT so don't worry about having that coded.
