In a BMW I MUST MUST MUST have the Sport Package.

Beyond that I would choose Nav + HUD.

Transmissions is very personal, but I have to have manual.
And, sport package.

Actually I think everything is over priced on the list, I don't want to drive manual as my daily driving car. I pick Steptronic Transmission.

I will pick SPORT PACKAGE if it's on the list.

I'd say steptronic because I can't drive manual. The price is cheap considering my handicap.

But I'm surprise at how many people are not that crazy with comfort access. I know it is kind of pricey considering Lexus and Infiniti - believe - have them as standard options. But I got it for my car.

Since there is no comparison to my current car I tried to imagine if I would use particular 5 options prior to ordering. I tought comfort access would be a cool option as it would make driving much more effortless.

STEPTRONIC can be a life saver in the daily Stop and Go traffic here in OC/LA

2nd CHOICE woulda been HUD, 2nd best bang for the buck cuz you can use it everytime you drive.

I thought steptronic and smg were standard options on 550. no??

I would negotiate a price of $3500 for all of those options and leave happy.
