There are many other options in the Executive Package (versus Premium Package) that I think makes it a no-brainer to choose the Executive Package. The Sky Lounge for me was just an added bonus. The total price difference between the two packages is $3,300. And for that, you get

(1) Laser Lights ($1000 value),
(2) Drive Recorder ($200 value),
(3) Rear manual side window shades ($250 value),
(4) Soft-close Doors ($500-600 value based on previous generation X5 pricing),
(5) Parking Assistance Package ($700 value),
(6) Heated/cooled cupholders (no set value, but assume something like $200-300),
(7) Sky Lounge (approx. $1000 value based on what I've seen on other models)

This adds up to about $4k worth of options for only $3,300. If you're going to get Premium Package and then pay $1000 for Laser Lights and $700 for Parking Assistance Package, then you're really talking about only an additional $1,600 to get you the Executive Package. It really is a no-brainer for me, but of course totally up to you!
I think indeed parking assistance package is worth considering too. Is 360 view part of this package? Than I would really advise to order it.

Soft close I have too. Also not really necessary but nice to have.

And at this price range 1 K more or less is not going to make the difference so better chose it exactly as you like.

I have the roof and I like it. Gives a luxurious look. But not really necessary of course. And you don't see it your self as mentioned

By the way they are not separate leds but a sort of figure scratched in the glass and 2 led strips on the sides reflecting in those giving the effect.
