My Ride: 2002 330CIC with Sports and Premium (Sold 4/2005)
2005 545I Black Saphire Metalic, with Black Dakota Leather, Poplar trim. Sport Package, MTech Body kit and Spoiler, HUD, Comfort Seats, Navigation, Premium sound, CWP, Heated Rear Seats, Window shades. Valentine 1 hardwired, Aux input.
It is everthing I thought it would be, and more. The wait was definitely worth it. Even my wife noticed the handling, and she just doesnt notice stuff like that. Bluetooth is giving me a little trouble, but I am sure the fix is on the board somewhere (If anyone is using the Tmobile Blackberry 7100T, does your phone book sync. Mine hasnt yet). They made a mistake on the wood trim, but I can live with that for now. They are going to give me some great discounts in the parts department to make up for it. Ordering my M-tech kit tomorrow, and will do a longer post of my initial impressions of the car. I think I am still in shock still. Thanks to everyone for their input on this site. It is an incredible resource.

Sorry. The 7100T will NOT transfer your phone book. You will only be able to use the speakerphone capabilities of your BMW. There is a security risk associated with Blackberry bluetooth data (phonebook) transfers (supposedly).

Is it a March build? I still haven't seen confirmation that post week 9 North American cars have DSC + and upgraded trim pieces.
