Anyone have the Ventilated (Napa) seats? Was wondering if the rear seat is upholstered in Napa leather as well, or just the fronts? Thanks,

My car isn't in my possesion yet (and if I'm wrong, someone will surely correct me) but I'm pretty sure that both the front and rear seats are upholstered in Nasca leather, even though the rear seats aren't ventilated. Basically, they are two options -- you can order the Nasca leather without the ventilated option, you just can't get the ventilated option without the Nasca...

Rudy,

When is your new car expected to arrive to US?

What wheels and tyres are you going for?

Was there any extras that you didn't order?

I imagine I'll take delivery mid-July. Right now, it's waiting for a boat. According to the shipper's website, there is a boat departing on 6/12 and another on 6/18. Ironically, the one on the 18th is the same boat that my first E60 came over on...the Patriot!

The only option I didn't order was the anthracite headliner. As far as wheels and tires, I went with the ones that come standard with the 550i sport package (19") -- I'm not one to do too many mods, if any at all...

Rudy is right! (as allways)


I have Nasca Ventilated Comfort seats and the rear seats are also Nasca but not ventilated.

M/S Patriot sounds good to me.

RF Bridgestone, Michelin or Dunlop?

I fully loaded one don't need mods

Happy waiting!

My dealer just got two Carbon Black 550i sports in and they had Continental non-runflats on them...

Sport Contact 2' or 3's?

Non RF's?
Maybe BMW has learned something...
