are you getting new orused? I would def try to get a 2006+ (2ND GEN) model. As long as you get NAV, you will have the rear camera. Other then that, if you get a M35 or M45, DEF get the sport (08+) or Journey (06-07) package. If you get an M35X (awd) you wont have HID's, the car is as high as a 4x4, and you will not have the black headlights. You will have chrome. Why a 53k M35X has non HID headlights is beyond me but whatever. I'm in that situation right now. I'm about to take over a lease on an 07 M35X with 12k on it and I'm gonna need to lower it, get M45 wheels, and PROB get the black housing headlights because they look a million times better.
Theres a sound system package that gives you speakers IN the tops of the seats, I think its part of the journey package. You also get lane departure warning.

I'm just looking for options right now and was wondering what should i be looking for when i'm looking at the car.
I want nav and a reverse camera... that's a no brainer for me.
I'm just not sure if the M comes with anything else worth mentioning.
Differences between sport packages and etc..
any insights would be great... thanks in advance
