Even if he puts on REAL XENONs it would still be ricey since the non-xenon cars do not have projectors and will blind the hell out of ppl.
There's nothing worse than fake xenons. So tacky...

sleeper that is a GREAT price...congrats.
u dont say where youre located...if youre in the north USA id definitely consider the cold weather package...the seat heaters are awesome. i personally would skip the PDC since i rarely park in the street. again its your call, you cant miss either way.
have u seen the auburn interior? i have it with black saphire and consider it to be a great combo.
congrats on your new ride. enjoy it in good health.

I had heated seats on my 3 series and didnt really use them (i only drive on the weekends)
In NY all you got is paralell parkign so PDC is somethign that will come in handy.
My first choice was auburn but some fo teh web pictures are throwing me off.

A had a black 320Ci with beige interior, it looked great.
B on B is stylish but I personally like the contrast more, dark/light or vice versa.
Do not worry about the Xenons, nobody will steel them, you wheels might be stolen
but not the lights!
Does the Premium package include Hi-Fi speakers?
If not go for them!

I actually use it all the time in parking in the city. The rearward view out of the E60 is horrendous.

I had the same issue when ordering auburn, I had only seen it in person one time and couldnt remember what it looked like. I can tell you all the pictures dont do it justice. Now that I have my car, I absolutly love the auburn interior, and so does every single person that has seen it.

I agree!
I have no problems to shape out the front nor the sidelines,
but when I park my car, beliving the rear is close to hit something,
I find out that there is a two foot space left.
Even if I open the door and look behind I cannot see the rear end
of the car.
I really miss the PDC feature!
