My Ride: Arrived on 12/31/09 2009 Black Sapphire Metallic 535i with Steptronic, Auburn interior, Sport and Sport Auto, Active Steering, Premium, PDC, Nav, Comfort Access. Additions include Valentine 1 Hardwire and Dinan Stage II! Graduating from a 2006 - 530i
Post

I went to the local dealer and with the lease on the E46330i expiring, I opted for bigger. I ordered a black sapphire 530i with an auburn interior and an auto. The other extras are premium and sport packages plus navigation, active steering and comfort access. My budget is busting. Delivery in February. I can't wait. The options choices were overwhelming and with limited inventory on the lot, I had to guess a bit. The dealer said I had a few days to change my mind, so if you see a goof, let me know. Thanks,

P.S. I have browsed a few other forums and this one is of significantly higher quality.

think hard about getting comfort seats, particularly if you drive long distances. I love the HUD--great safety feature. cold WX package if your climate dictates.

Car sounds great...I had to wait almost 5 months on mine...it was painful!


Welcome aboard!!

Welcome. How about premium sound or is it included already? Other than possibly premim sound, the only other thing I would miss is comfort seats, but the sprot seats should be fine.

HiFi is... but we're talking about Logic 7. The REAL Premium sound.

Congrats, a good choice of car and options!

It will be sleepless nights, but you are getting a genuine MY '06 car!

Hold in there Trev550i as well!

Thanks for your advice and support. The wait is difficult. I am going to have Christmas in February.
