Agree totally. I have a 2006 550i and drove the 535xi sport with twin turbo...Liked it better than my 550i. Get cold weatherpkg, HUD is nice with navigation (u can live without it), sport package and then hunker down, save some money for after market mods from the freaks on the E60 forum. WELCOME!

The M-tech kit ill buy seperate because it makes the car that much harder to find.
You know - you might want to re-think that one. I wish I knew what I know now when I bought my 535xi last February. I would bargain with the salesperson to add the M-Aero kit to the car I want on their lot - and see what they'll do for the sale. It might be cheaper than buying the M kit later - and you can wrap the cost into the monthly payment if need be. You gotta have a good idea going in to negotiations - what you'll pay if you buy the car - and then add the M Aero kit later. Bargain from there!!!
Good luck!

Yeah, I would agree with this. I had also planned to buy the M-aero kit on my own and have it painted/installed. I see now that it is a little more complicated than just slapping it on. You need a good paint/body shop and someone that knows how to install them. I have gotten used to my car as-is and will probably just opt not to get it simply because I don'y want to risk it getting done poorly...so now I wish I would have just ordered the car with it.
