My Ride: 545iSMGSilver GrayAuburn Dakota LeatherLogic 7 Premium SoundSports Package
This info came out 1/20/06. The M5 will stay as an 06. All other 5 Series take change in March Production. The changes include:
Sport Packages: The Sport Steering Wheel from the 6 will be on the 5 Sport Package and Comfort Seats are Included in the Sport Package instead of Sport Seats. It does not say anything about replacing the Comfort Seats with Sport Seats at no additional charge.
Other Changes: Auxilary Input is now standard. Tire Pressure Monitor....The system constantly monitors tire pressures and displays a warning in the iDrive screen when a change in pressure is detected. Didnt it already do that???? HD Radio is now being offered as well as Night Vision.

Off the top of my head... $800 for the wheel and $600 for the round airbag.
