Here's how I see it. Basically, there are some options that are super easy to add to a car. Fuchs. Sport suspension. Sport seats. You just buy the parts and bolt them up on a saturday afternoon.
Some options are extremely difficult to add. Limited slip is extremely expensive to add yourself - good used M220 trans are really hard to find and expensive, cracking a non-M220 box open and adding LSD is extremely expensive, and swapping gearboxes isn't exactly trivial. Sunroof delete borders on impossible.
So I would consider M220 and sunroof delete "extremely high value" options if you want them. Because everything else can be added/removed to suit your tastes with minimal expense/work

I would think of it as an uncommon car (not many to be found) as opposed to rare (carries more value). My guess would be that was a car purchased by someone with performance intrests (LSD and lack of sunroof are hard to add later) who didn't care about some of the other stuff which could be added from aftermarket. They could also just have been tall and wanted the headroom and wanted to drive in winter.
