I agree with sport package as well, but from the list above I would have comfort access, HUD, and Sat radio. I will have a yard sale to make up the $95 over the $2500 limit.

Regarding the "USA only" you know how self centered us Americans are.

This is why we give more money in charity than any other country on earth. I wish others were as self centered as Americans.

I think the best value for money of the options listed is Steptronic, Active cruise control and Head up display.

What about the comfort seats???? Best option I have on mine
I agree with this 100%. I have an 04 E60 with standard seats and if there is anything I could go back and change it would be to add this option. I just came back from a LA to Carmel weekend getaway (11 hours total driving time) and my lower back was killing me. The standard seats are awful. Worse than a low end Jetta/Camry etc. Funny thing is you probably won't notice on a quick test drive, but you will after extended driving.

Lets say all other options and packages have been choosen already? And the options listed above are the remaining with you having only $2500.00 to spend any combination of options listed above.

I would like everyone to give some feed back so we all know what bells and whistles to chose.

Lets see

Thanks everyone
Chose Steptronic Transmission; Comfort Access; HD Radio; and Satellite Radio. Prices smices. I wouldn't get comfort access except that one has to insert key and press button otherwise, and it's sort of convenient.
