I went back to the dealership today and spent some time fooling around with i-drive and the Logic 7 stereo. I was pleasantly surprised. In fact I really kind of liked it! I listened primarily to FM radio, as I did not have a CD with me at the time. I feel I could certainly live with this system, and could always add one of my amps and my bass box to give it a little more umph. This can be done without endangering the electronics, or so I have been told by the technicians that installed the system in my M3. As far as the other speakers go this is a no go as the crossovers are intergrated into the amp in the Logic 7.
So I am again considering this fine vehicle. Probably will wait for the 550 and do a European delivery.
It is very odd that I am really beginning to like the styling of this car. When I first saw the new 5 series I thought it was hideous. I think driving it has a way of changing the way you feel. Usually when I do not particularly like the styling of a vehicle I like it best in black as blafck hides the lines. But with the new 5 I like it best in silver, by far. Interesting.

The exterior took time but it did eventually grow on me. I'm still not crazy about the interior but I suspect that I'll adjust. I'm slated for a ED on March 23 for a 545i thanks to some awesome lease deals and airfare! I think I'll get used to the interior....

COOL! Glad it got your approval.
How did you set up the equalizer? I'm just curious... I know its different for every song, every person, every disc but just curious.

I will definitely get Navigation as I am directionally challenged. It would be worth it just for the trip, I would think.
I'm really curious about the comfort seats. I know that in my 01 5 series, and in my M3, my back gets sore after an hour or so of driving. I sat in the comfort seat of a X5 4.6, and liked it. But I also like the sports seat in the 545, and think this may be helpful as it has greater leg extension (support), and I am 6'4". Any thoughts?
