Any person that ordered this combo must have impeccable taste.

looks like a expensive car .. almost like the $100k type
I think you discount this car too much. It's way more than $100K in some countries

The interior looks stunning. I really like it

When I picked up my 550 Sport on August 2 at the Delivery Center in Munich I checked out other e60's waiting for delivery in the parking lot looking for cool color combinations.
Hang on... something just struck me... this guys _brand new_ car was waiting for delivery, and you were able to open it up and take photos of the inside?? I would be seriously pissed off if my brand new car was left unlocked and available for other customers to browse inside it.

Is that a really big deal? It's technically not his car until he takes delivery, and several people have driven it in transport.

However, perhaps I'm numb to the thought after my first ED. (Here's the process: drop the car off, it's loaded on a truck, shipped to the port, prepared for shipment, driven onto the ship, bounced across the North Atlantic, unloaded, picked apart in customs, driven several miles to the VPC, inspected again, put on another truck, sent to the dealer, unloaded, washed and prepped again, only to have the keys handed to me 6 weeks later.)

Easily a dozen people will have driven my car (bought and paid for, BTW) by the time I see it again.

There is a difference between "staff", who will all be audited and logged (so if necessary, they can work out who drove it at which stage), and members of the general public having open and free access to your new car. To me, yes, it's a big deal!! If you are escorted to view the car by staff then it's not so bad. But if the car is just left unlocked where you can walk up and mess with it, that's pretty bad.

I opened the door and took photographs with staff permission. I did not sit in the cars.

I also took a lot of photos of new Alpine White M3's with black carbon fiber roofs and black interiors with the aluminum cube trim. Black chrome wheels. BMW is sending out 20 of them to journalists. The lot was loaded with them when I was there. They are ultra cool.
