Well I had my baby for 10,000 miles now. I did this in only 2-3 months and boy do I love my car

I just cant stop driving all the time.

Theres nothing i dont love about it.

I only wish sometimes i had the extra money to be able to have bought some of the extras.

Heres the ones i wish i had,
Sat nav - I use ipaq with tomtom, but id have love to have it in built.

Auto tilt and flip up mirrors - if there is such a thing id love to have mirros that look down when i reverse to stop me kerbing my wheels. and also mirrors that fold up when you park or lock the car.

The best stereo upgrade - the stereo I have is really not as good as it should be. Wish id had the money to buy it factory fitted.

Theres loads more, but those are the main ones.

Gonna order a tv module soon as I can, and I ordered the breyton lip spoiler. Its going in for tints soon, and then will come the ICE system and some huge wheels. cant wait

What would you guys have love to have had, or what do you have that you thinnk is really an excellent option and well worth the money you paid ?

i have no common about nav since we don't need one in this small island .
my car has the reverse-tilt passenger side mirror. it's standard. even my previous e39 had it. is it an option for non us spec cars ?
oh, in fact, a cheaper way to have all the options...steal iceman's car !
the option i like the most (since i don't have many :'() is adaptive xenon headlights ! pdc is a close second.

Smokin,

Have you had any of the software upgrades done yet? My car did not originally have the kerbside mirror tilt function until I got one of the version 11 upgrades which activated it.

It comes seperately, or with the comfort seats, or (I think) the phone and possibly with some other options...

In Germany there are no packages. Everything is an option you can add. Just very rare things are standard on higher (engine) models...

You must have a neck like a turkey if you can see the curb along your right rear wheel.
