I'm applying for a new job that could involve some more driving.

If so, my new car would be a Jet Black LCI 525dA with 244 17" rims.

Hi-Fi speakers or Logic7 and Comfort Seats.

Interiour could be black, grey, beige or...?

Don't tell me that you're gonna do pizza delivery J/K
Do you listen to music a lot or radio mostly? How far do you drive everyday on your job?
If you're crazy about music, go for L7 since it has equalizer and DSP (kind of).
If you drive a lot on your job and you don't like current seat, Comfort Seats is a must.
For black, I'd go with beige for 2008 model. I like two-tone interior and contrast when you look from the outside

Good luck with your decision and let us know the outcome

I would go either for the classy look, with the beige interior and the (dark) wood trim. Or take the "sporty" look, with a black interior with the aluminium trim as a contrast (looks real good, seen it at the BMW dealership some time ago).

And maybe you want to consider the Xenon lamps? I think that it looks really good on a black 5-series, because it gives it a "finishing (elegant) touch".

But as always, the best thing is to see the combo's in real life, and then decide yourself for what you like the best.

go for the "dirac" stereo(16 speakers), its more expensive but has to sound even better than the logic7 ?
the code for this is: 752
comfort seats have been debated here before and most people recommend them.

interior, I've choosed dakota black(LCSW) with dark wood trim inside (438).

Personnaly I'm not a fan of a black car with a black interior. It looks dull and unimaginative to me. I'll go for a grey(ish) leather colour. Don't you have a "comfort package" in Finland too? Baring in mind you already ticked the comfort seats (good choice ) Y not go for a package that gives you Xenon too?

By the way - your third car looks really classic!
