The auto sunshade is nice if you want a choice to shade or not.
Logic 7 is great with the CD changer or you can add a subwoofer to the standard system. There are several posts on that topic in the forum. Be sure and get the fold down rear seats if you plan to add a sub.
If you order the Sport Package and the run flats are too harsh, you can swap them out for non-runflats. You gotta order the sport package.
SMG seems the way to go for the trans. If you like to shift, the 6 speed manual is cool.
Check out the antracite or titanium interior trim. They look pretty good also.
If you get light grey interior, ask for dark grey or black floor mats. If you get the light grey floormats, buy some clear aftermarket carpet protectors so you don't have to clean the mats so often.
The fold down rear seats are great with the swing down arm rest/cup holder.
If you travel long distances, the AutoCruise is great.
Order the comforts seats.
Order the Nav/HUD. You get voice control as well.
For the IPOD connection, you can choose where you want it located. Study the interior to make sure the location is convenient for you.
Order the Xenons.
I can't comment on the Cold Weather Package.
The light grey interior is very difficult to keep clean, especially with kids.
The lighter the exterior, the easier the maintenance.
I think the rims with the thinner spokes look more elegant.
Good luck. Happy driving!

[quote name='fowwie' date='Nov 22 2004, 01:00 PM']I haven't order or bought my 5 yet, but i would like to ask there is an option for a 10 loudspeaker upgrade over the standard speaker system, any1 has it?? How does it go? Or is it just an Australia option?

This is the standard speaker system in the US and from the feedback here, it doesn't come close to the 13 speaker L7 setup. It's amazing that the UK/AUS standard 6 speaker system is even lower in quality than this

[/quote]I thought he means 10 speaker "over" the standard, "plus"... that's why I thought he means L7.
But you're probably right... standard, hi-fi (10), L7 (13)...
