I am new to the forum, and very grateful to have found this forum before placing an order for my new E60.
As a result, I have ordered a Carbon Black 530i Auto, with MSports Package. The car will be one of the first builds of the new R6 3.0 litre engine - but the downside - delivery only April next year
Since I have some time to decide on other options, thought I'd ask for opinions on the MSports suspension with and without Dynamic Drive (roll stabilisation)??
Does Dynamic drive make the drive considerably more comfortable?
Thanks

Fantastic engine you're getting...worth the wait!!! 
I don't have Dynamic drive, I am sure there are some interesting and worthwhile
aspects about it. For me, semi-purist, am super happy with my sports suspension setup.
Obviously, other E60 buddies who have it will fill you in...

Welcome, where are you from and what options have you ordered so far?

About the questions - Sorry - was still updating my profile.
I'm in Sunny South Africa.
I am an absolute BMW fanatic.
Since being bitten by the BMW bug 5 years ago, I've had 2 E46's (323i and 325i) and a now have a E39 525i, and a 1 week old 120i.
The other options I've ordered on the E60 should now appear below.
