Hi guys,

You know the feeling...should you go for the M5 or settle with the 550i. I made my mind up yesterday and ordered the 550iA.
Anything you need to know about the 550iA or M5 I would most likely know, so just fire away...

Regards,

Dandanell

Does the 550i USA spec car come with bi-xenon head lights or are the bright lights halogen?
Thanks.

I ordered without the active steering because I had a problem getting used to the feeling when going really fast. I am sure that one could get used to it and that I'm probably just old fashion, but the Active Steering is not for me.

Apart from that my car will include the following:

E60 BMW 550iA, steptronic, Saphire Black, with Amethyst leather (to keep the black plastic and not have the light colors all over the cabin), comfort seats, NAVI pro, HiFi Pro Logic 7, Bluetooth phone, sun roof, dual xenon, universal remote, split back seats, M-steering wheel, M-suspension and Hartge 20" Classic 2 wheels (to be mounted when Hartge does the release early 2006, and when the snow is gone .

The car will be livered in the middle of december and go into production NEXT WEEEK Good I can't wait....

Dandanell where did you find out about Hartge releasing the classic 2 in 20"?(if i am correct they are only available in 21" for the M5) any information on this is greatly appreciated as I'm in love with those wheels and would rather get them than 172m.

Hi there,

The information was released only a few weeks ago. You are absolutely right - before it was only possible to order this wheel for the M5, but as you can see from the link below they will be released early 2006.

I'm like you - in love with the Classic 2. It's AWESOME!!!

Go to www.hartge.de, E60 and scroll down, just before accessories you can read that they will release 18 and 20" Classic 2...wonder why they skipped 19"??
