My Ride: 520d M-sport - Steptronic - Carbon Black - Auburn Leather - Mem Seat - Cup Holders - Nav Pro - Light Pack - Dim/folding mirrors - Adv Airco - PDC - Aux/in - Non-smoke pack - De-badged - Delivery Mar 31, 2006
go for the power 530i - watch it: M-sports package will be pretty hard for quality of US roads - so get the awsome looking aero kit witwith std suspension
