You lucky MOFO!!! lol thats what I wanted but I couldn't find one with exactly what I wanted which was nav, fully loaded,HUD,Curtains and for it to be CPO I searched all over the nation for about 1 month.. before I settled for mine.. blk on blk.. with all the goodies CPO was very important to me... good luck I love auburn interior enjoy it.
Ya i looked for a CPO as well, but couldn't find one! But this one turned out to be PERFECT (Thank God) The interior really is amazing..i was worried i would not like it.
As for mods: i have 545/550 Wheels on it, But Maybe, Just maybe i might put 20" Black with Chrome lip staggered rims on it and lower a bit...But it just looks so elegant this way, i don't know if i wanna mess with it!

auburn kicks butt - shame there is no such colour on the lci models..
Natural Brown is the closest on offer now, my personal favourite at the moment.
If you are after another very strong "different" contrast combination, which is what the Auburn gave, then I guess the Dakota Blue Leather is what you would have to go for -- certainly not on my wish list though!

So as i told you guys i finally got my 04"530i prem/cold weather pkg 6speed manual in a couple of days ago! I bought it from Texas and i live in AZ and it got shipped to me..The interior color i was worried about that it wouldn't match good..when seeing it i was AMAZED at what a beautiful combo it is!!
Ps: It came with the Regular 530i Wheels but my friend had these nicer ones off either an M5 or a 550i sitting around and i added them on!

It looks great BUT......
The interior trim that you have is not brushed aluminum. It's called Titan, it is trim that has been painted silver, but not brushed. I would have been happy with the Titan interior when I got my car, but unfortunately in the US all 525's and 530's with premium package and all 545's came with wood (Poplar or Anthracite)......so I chose Anthracite. Later on I swapped my Anthracite wood trim with ALU Shadow brushed aluminum and I agree that the Titan and brushed aluminum both look better than the wood. Here are some pictures of my Auburn/ALU Shadow brushed:
