I know some don't think it is necessary but I like PDC. At least where I live there are a lot of tight parking places and it's good for making sure you dont scratch your bumbers (they are not protected by anything). Also you can always park exactly in the middle of the spot when you parallel park.

welcome aboard, crunge I see you are in DC area too.. yes DC during normal day is terrible with traffics.. that's why I've got steptronic.. and so far, I like it.. it might not be same as manual 6speed.. but still nice.. also has 6 speed.
If this will be your family car.. don't forget to get rear shade.. I am very regretting not having that.. now I am looking for tint, but in VA state law only requires 45% tint.. so it's not much worth it.. so I am still thinking about it..

Oh for the verizon v710. I ported number and changed to cingular and I've got razr.. but from this forum. there is way to pair with BMW. You might want to search that forum and follow the instructions. there was place where you need to download the software.
Good luck to your BMW purchase.
