Hey looks like your heading the right way with your potentially new car.

I think media pack consists of Bluetooth prep, cd changer, telematics and professional sat nav. visibility pack consists of adaptive xenons, headlight washers

All need is folding wing mirrors and your set. Although you know how to retrofit these anyway

I agree with russdx, When I was looking for mine, it had to have visibility and media package and the 172 alloys, anything else I considered a bonus. But yeah the fact the lights turn when you turn isnt really that big a deal, but the xenons for me on looks are better. In hindsight electric seats mirrors and usb should of been on that list also, but i guess budget dictates.

Hense i discovered this forum, and all I have been doing for the 3 months since ive had it is a hell of a lot of reading!!

I guess the headlights tracking the your steering depends on what type of roads you drive. I live in an area where street lighting is limited combined with streets filled with lots of turns (I love the roads that lead to the house), initially I thought this feature was more of a gimmick boy was I wrong. There are two features that I feel make the e60, the active stabilization system and the swiveling headlight feature.
