That compartment comes with non-nav cars.
I think this compartment is useless on the 550...Not enough rake and too much torque...everything flies out all the time!!!!

Great choice though...you won't be dissapointed.

I just want ro thank everybody on this forum. I just purchased my new 550i. It will take forever to arrive but I know I made the correct decisions based upon the feedback from my friends on this forum.

If the sports package is feasable for you, PLEASE GET IT, I dont think they should even offer it any other way

I have to second this recommedation.....the E60 is an great car without sport......the E60 is a wildly amazing car with sport.....the difference, in my opinion, is night and day......and well worth the cost of the sport package....not to mention the comfort seats that are also amazing!!

Good news! Got my tracking number and the deal called to say they started production yesterday at 5:25Am. This wait is hard but I know its going to be worth the pain. Does anybody have an idea about window tints?

Update: My 550i is on the Emden and is due to arrive in Charlstone on May 31... This is very exciting stuff. Does anybody know how long the process would take to deliver the car to my dealer in Dallas once my car is offloaded fron the Emden?
