I am about to purcahse a used E60 520 or 525i and I have a few questions:

1. Was the HUD ever standard or has it always been an option?

2. What options should I look out for?

3. What things shall I check when I'm inspecting the car?

Hope you can help, I'll post pics when I've purchased ;o)

Your help is much appriciated!!

Get the sport package for sure!! If you are ordering black interior get the Anthracite Headliner upgrade #775 it really finishes the car. I did not order the HUD but it is an option/upgrade only, not standard.

I don't think it's ever been a standard, since it uses a different glass for the front.


2. What options should I look out for?
Depends on what you want. To each his own, I say. I really wished I bought the NAV, for example.

3. What things shall I check when I'm inspecting the car?
Look in the FAQ section.

Good luck!

If I could go back I would have gotten the comfort seats. The standard seats are a joke. You won't be able to tell on a test drive, but you will know after a long trip.

Yes, comforts seats is a must... I wish I was aware of this wonderful forums (E60.net) when I bought my 545i.
