If you're not going for the Active Steering, I would recommend Servotronic Steering. It varies the level of assitance according the spped of the car - nice and light when parking and a well weighted direct feel on the open road. It's good value too, at only ?160.

It's much cheaper to spec a CD changer now compared to the cost of fitting after purchase.

In my opinion, the bluetooth is a worthwhile extra, it works well with my T630, although I think it could do with a little more volume at times.

Auto is superb.

If you have to choose between Comfort Seats or SatNav, go with SatNav.

You won't be sorry.

My Ride: May 2004 525 Amethyst grey, Heated front seats, bluetooth prep, Adaptive Xenons, 6 CD changer, Front & Rear PDC, retro-fit 6 DVD changer in boot (trunk) with remote control plus headrest screens and IR headphones, Playstation connection to cabin, twin 12v outlets in rear cabin

Heated seats do it for me, and if your phone is compatible with the car (mine's a nokia 6310i) the bluetooth integration is great. If not, well you can read all the frustration on this topic you would ever need in this forum. I also find PDC a real boon at the front as well as the rear.

Good luck

I do think comfortseats are a must due to the fact that whiplash-protection is very important.

Be carefule with the 18's. Depending on the quality of the roads in your area and where you plan to travel, they will get bent more easily and are not as comfortable a ride at the 17" or 16".

You can always buy a portable GPS with more features (cheaper) for your occaisional travels.

If you haven't already, order the best sound system.

I wouldn?t buy a new car without all the passive safety that are offered .
