My Ride: 2008 550i ZSP with Style 167 wheels

My dealer called me today and told me that the US Dealer Ordering Guide is available on the Dealers' website. If anyone has access to this, please see if you can get and post a copy.
I learned a couple of things:
That's all I know!

I learned a couple of things:
- The 535i Sport package has 18" wheels and does not have the Aero kit or the special exhaust that will come standard on the 550i Sport Package cars.
- My dealer thinks that the 535i Sport package will also have non-run flats (like the 550i Sport package cars) as it has a space saver spare.
- The 535ix will be available with a Sport package, but as with the 530ix, will have all weather vs. performance tires (an upgrade to performance tires is available).
- The Sport Automatic will not be available until after June 2007 (as previously announced).
- The regular automatic transmission is an option (not sure if it's an extra cost option though). Previously, the automatic was standard and you could select either a manual or SMG at no additional cost.
- Cars should hit the showroom in April.
That's all I know!

It is possible that BMW have been listening to people complaining about how horrible the ride quality is with run flats together with sport suspension.
It's doubtful, very doubtful but we live in hope...

Now that would be a very interesting development (if it is true!)

I'm planning on ordering a 550 sport for an early-May ED. I have an appointment tomorrow morning with my dealer. He thought he'd have the ordering guide by then. If he does, and if I can get a copy, I'll post it tomorrow.

My 550i sport has a space saver tire and came with run flats (unfortunately). Having a space saver tire does not necessarily mean no run-flats.
Here if you are given runflats you don't get a spacesaver (but you can order one as a standalone option)
If you are given non-runflats then, and only then, would you get a spacesaver for free.

Good to know... that must be a US thing.

Financing information would be fantastic, too :-)
(I know, I'm a broken record. Just very nervous about the switch from 07 to 08 this month.)

*bump*
maybe bmw1986 can access this info? Hopefully it has MSRP and details of what's standard and what the options are.

Sorry for the delayed response (there was a plane flight to San Diego for today's football game in between!!).
I did get to my dealer yesterday and I did reserve a spot for a 550 Sport for an early-May ED. He did have the ordering guide (I've got a copy), but he did not yet have prices yet. I can post the ordering guide when I return. In the interim, if anyone has any questions, just ask. I'll post the answers as soon as I can.
