Well I've decided to finalize the order for a 540i this coming Thursday for a July delivery. The config will be as follows:
Sports M Pack
Comfort Seats
Professional Pack (ie. Comfort Access, HUD, Sunroof)
19" Wheels
Rear window and side rear windows blind
Pro Logic 7 sound system
Color will be Silver Grey
Seat will be Dakota Black
Trim will be that Dark Brown wood (can't remember name)
I'll also be ordering the IPOD kit which I'm told will sacrifice the 6 CD Changer.
Can you guys recommend any other add on's that I should consider?
Thanks!

If you updated your location, we'd have a better idea of specs available.

I hope you are not up north right now, seems like there is a pretty nasty typhoon heading that way.

Wow, that post is 1.5 years ago and obviously I didn't make the jump then
If i remember correctly the deal fell through as we had a AUD10k difference in expectation which we couldn't bridge. Cest la vie..I've now decided on the 540i and am wondering if you guys can give me some tips on what else I should be asking from my dealer. It's now been suggested to me that I should get the dealer to throw in 1 year extended warranty as part of the deal. What else is there?
