I cant wait for my car. The dealer says I can have it by friday!

Heres the option list:

Alpine White / Black Dakota Leather
Cold Weather Pkg
Sport Pkg
Logic7 Sound Pkg
Head-Up Display
Sequential Manual Gearbox (SMG)
Navigation System

Anything I should know when I get the car? Does it come with Bluetooth? If yes will it be user-friendly with my Motorola V710 w/ Verizon service? How does the SMG Drive? Is it fast? did i make the write choice as far as options? ANY INPUT APPRECIATED!

Thanks!!

Talk about a Merry Christmas!

All I can say is you chose well. You'll love the SMG but don't fret if it freaks you out at the beginning. There's a pretty long learning curve that can't be accelerated (no pun..) much. You need to simply drive it over time to reprogram your brain and body.

Good choice of color too!

Enjoy it and let us know how you like it -- we'll be here...

Thanks Rudy!

Also, I kind of prefer the Anthracite Wood over the Poplar Wood Trim. Is anyone interested in trading. The Poplar Wood is gonna brand new (koz i didnt even get the car yet!) If youre interested please reply.

welcome Alpine545


congrats it sounds nice, be sure to post some pix when you get it!

as of right now the V710 does NOT work in the E60, there is a problem with the way Verizon is sending the bluetooth and it wont link up....they say they are fixing it by the end of the year, but this has been the story for months and another member gave up and switched carriers due to it...

Alpine, you might want to include your location (or country at least) in your profile so we know where you are -- these cars are very country specific.

If you're in the US, be sure to order the rear reflectors! (check the FAQ if you're confused)
