Excellent article -- thanks! I'm torn between ordering a 530xi or waiting for the new 550i in the fall. Any and all recommendations appreciated!

Great article! I too am waiting to order a 530xi. Did anyone notice the SMG-style steering wheel on the manual model? I hope that becomes an option for the manuals.

This should put the MP3 questions to rest and the way it is stated sounds like you need a different CD player to get MP3.


"The interior on all models has been upgraded with better trim around the air conditioning controls, a CD player with MP3 capability, and adaptive swivelling headlights are now standard on the 530i."
