My Ride: '06 550i 6 Speed MT, Navigation, PDC, Cold Weather Pkg, Logic7, Prem Pkg, Sport Pkg, Active Steering, Comfort Seats, Comfort Access, HUD, Alpine White on Black Dakota & a Big Grin ;-) <---- On the vessel from Germany...

'05 545i 6 Speed MT, Navigation, PDC, Cold Weather Pkg, Logic7, Prem Pkg, Sport Pkg, UUC EVOIII SSK, Silver Gray on Black Dakota..... (Buy back by BMW NA)
BMW is buying back my 10 months old car due to some repeating problems, I was thinking about getting the M5 I was so eager to get and was not available 10 months ago, but I REALLY don't like the SMG gearbox and besides I don't like buying a car in its 1st. year of production so I think I will go with the 550I and place an order for MY2007 M5 with a manual gearbox.
Now I already decided I would like to order a WHITE car instead of my Silver-Gray (Which I like as well) but I still need to decide about some other features... so I'm asking your advice for it...
1. I currently have the Sport package with the sport seats and they are o.k., do you think I should get the Comfort seats ? i'm a big guy, though I like the tight (a little bit too tight for me...) feeling of the sport seats.
2. Should I get the HUD ?
3. Should I get the comfort access ? (it wasn't an option when I ordered my car)
Look at my sig. for the other options I have (pretty much everything...) - what would you get ? am I forgetting something ?
Your advice will be appreciated my friends !

If you are thinking for a M5, I assume money is not a big issue for you.
You should get everything that you are considering, so you won't ever regred you didn't get it later.

In addition to HUD, active cruise control is really cool -- as far as I'm concerned a must have option in car like the 550i
Shortly after ordering my 550 I asked a similar question on this board. After many enthusiastic reviews I added HUD and Comfort Access, and even though I haven't yet received my car, I am glad I did. For me at least, wishing I had something I don't (and can't add after the fact) is far worse than wishing I hadn't spent $1k on a feature I might not use that much. You can always sell a kidney or your firstborn and get the cash back, right?

I'll get the HUD & Comfort seats / Access... as for the Active CC... i'll never use it, especially while having a manual gearbox...
