My Ride: 2006 Silver Grey 550i (est delivery 12/06)
Auburn / Poplar Interior / Anthracite headliner
M body aero kit/ sport/ sound/ comfort access/ comfort seats/ sunshade/ sat radio
Can someone please tell me what priority one options include?
Can you get them piecemeal?
What do they cost...?
Does anyone have a picture of the anthracite headliner? I was going with either the silver gray or titanium gray with auburn and poplar wood trim. Does the anthracite only look good with the anthracite maple trim.
Anyone have pics of the nasca leather or ventilated seats in auburn?
Is the nav on the 550i now always with the larger screen or do you have to specify pronav.
I'm in Gainesville and when i called the sales guy, he said it was the first call he had received about the 550i...so I am gonna have to do a lot of my own DD...not that I would have it any other way.
Thanks for any answers.

I ordered a 550 on Monday of this week, and ran into some of the issues that you are looking into. I ordered the car and then found this website and have been learning a lot more here than the dealer knew about. So, I have been on the phone with the dealer quite a bit this week trying to get solid info; my salesman is a good guy, he is just working his way through this for the first time too (and the dealership is relatively new also).
I don't have all the answers, but here is what I have been told so far:
- In most cases, you can order the priority options on a case by case basis, but they sometimes require other options to be ordered or cause the inability to choose other options.
- I don't have a complete list, but am supposed to get on on this coming Monday. I'll share it here if/when I get it.
- The nav comes with the larger screen. If you don't get the nav, you get the smaller screen.
I ordered my car with Titanium Silver and the Auburn leather. I like the combination. The other thought was Silver Grey with the Auburn.
Good luck!

What are priority one options? I asked my sales rep and she said it had something to do with getting the car quicker. My sales rep seems so uninformed on everything.

You can get any interior/exterior combo you want as long as they are BMW NA approved. I was hooked after seeing an E60 with Auburn interior but BMW's website and brochure show that Auburn isn't available if the exterior is Titanium Grey. When I ordered my 550i and asked about the "odd" combo, I was told, "not a problem at all!"

On another note, I wish I could see in person the auburn interior. I am too scared to order it without seeing it in person. None of the dealers around where I live get it for their lots because it is "not conservative enough and wouldn't sell well". It looks good in pictures.
