I'm really starting to get the urge to order the 550. I just am unclear about a few issues. 1. Is the anthracide headliner available as a no cost option in the US? 2. Can the lite Poplar wood be ordered in the US? What about aluminum? 3. Why is comfort access double the price of the same option in the e90? I want this but $1000?

1) Yes
2) No. No.
3) Because they can.

Are you sure the anthracite headliner is a no cost option in the US? I've asked my dealer to research this and he came back and told me that it is a $500 priority 1 option. Does anyone have a pointer to a sheet that lists this one way or another...

i dont remember which post had it, but a member who ordered a 550i scanned and posted his order sheet and it does show that the anthricite headliner is option 775 and was no-cost...

as for the interior choice question, the answer is that you cannot order it at the time the car is built, but you can have it retrofitted

Great news; I'll have to go find that post. Sadly, the only scanned 550 order I could think of was this one: http://forums.e60.net/index.php?act=Attach...e=post&id=10602 -- which was most useful because it showed the ventilated seats in combination with the CWP (something many people say can't be done). Sadly: (1) this order didn't have the anthracite headliner; and (2) it didn't show prices. I'll have to search some more....
