What is he wrong about. The Priority one issue is coming from the zone office. Can't do priority one and Euro delivery.

Is there a list of ///M upgrades somewhere?
M Sport Models include:
Anthracite headlining
Interior trim - Silver Aluminium Cube
M Aerodynamic package
M Door entry sill trims
M Sport Multi-Function Steering Wheel
M Sport suspension settings
Sports Seats
Wheels-18-inch M Sports Spoke Alloy Wheel style 135M
I guess you should ask the European members for the part #'s for all these.
Also, remember that they won't let you install anything before the car gets back to the US, so you should mail back any parts that you buy over there.

There are members on that forum who have gotten priority 1 options with ED before.
The BMW Zone office says no. What am I going to say... some guys from here say its ok?
This isn't coming from the dealership, there is no argrument. I had to change my order.

My Ride: 2008 Sapphire Black on Black M5 - loaded sans soft close doors
While I don't have the sunshades....
I did not get them because I heard that kids can yank them out of the windows. Since I have a two and a four year old, who have never been bothered by the sun, coupled with the rumor about the kids yanking them, I saved the money and went with the heated rears (don't ask).

My son (only child) is about to be 16. He is the reason I got the car. It was so he could now have access to the old car . Now my problem isn't with him pulling out the rear sunshades but rather him testing out all 360 horses. I may let him drive it if im in the car.

So off comes the anthricite headliner.
So while I was on the phone I added the sunshades. Anyone have an opinion on the sunshades. Seems like a nice thing if someone has their brights on or the sun is hot.

Call your dealer and tell him/her that you are unhappy with this resolution. When I ordered my ED550 a couple of months ago, I included Priority 1 Anthracite Headline, and Priority 1 Ventilated Seats. In any event, Priority 1 + ED ==

Priority 1 Options ARE available on ED. Your dealer is either lazy/ignorant/unhelpful/ or all of the above. Call Jim Mannheimer at DeLon BMW and he will get it for you ordered on ED.... oh and at a GREAT price. I have bought 4 cars from Jim and they are AWESOME !
