My Ride: On order: 2007 550i, silver gray, black leather, anth. maple trim, active cruise, heated steering wheel, sport, night vision, vent seats, heat rears, active steering, rear air bags, folding seats, comfort access, navigation , HUD, black head liner, steptronic, premium sound, sirius and HD radio.
My SA has order a 2007 550i with Nasca leather, ventilated seats and the cold weather package. The ordering system is letting him do it. I thought that this was not possible but I think maybe it is now. Anyone have experience with this. Oh ya....I am leaving the 2006 330i and coming back to the 5 series. I just couldn't take it any more in a 3.
FYI...I am getting every option on the car except night vision (waste of money), rear airbags and HD radio. It is Silver gray with black Nasca and black wood trim. I get my production number today and I CANT WAIT! It feels good to be back!

Sounds like mixed messages. One of the option sheets says you can't but people say they have been able to order and receive.

I couldn't resist so I added Night Vision, rear airbags and HD Radio. I think I got every option you can. I plan on keeping it for a long time so I decided to get it loaded up. It will go into production next week. The minute I get it I will take a post pics. I am very excited to see what the Nasca leather is like. I really like the stitching and look of the seats.

My Ride: Due May 2006:
530d SE Touring, Automatic, Titanium Grey, beige leather comfort seats, light poplar wood trim, sports steering wheel, graduated tinted windscreen, panoramic sunroof, pro radio, logic 7, 6CD, visibility pack, storage compartment pack, adv aircon
Just looking at the UK options list - it says that heated seats come free if you order the active ventilated seats.
Which may be why heating couldn't be ordered in addition to vetillation - as it was already there.

Looking at jetblack or the silver grey metallic exterior. interior in black nasca leather (ventilated/heated seats) with the anthracite headliner, sport, premium, cold weather,active steering, nav, hd radio, logic7, active steering, comfort access, HD and satellite radio. Still thinking about the heads up display, night vision and active cruise control. I'm also torn between going back too my standard color combo of black with beige interior (last 5 bimmers have had it). Been thinking about the aero kit too. Manual, SPETRONIC or SMG??!?! Any thoughts?
Have you heard of any or seen the refresh to the 5? I've seen a couple of pics but nothing major for the exterior (only seen the new steptronic shifter).
One more question, does anyone know what order the dealer is to imput the option codes so as to get the ventilated/heated seats with the cold weather package?!
Thanks!

So can you guys get ventilated seats with extended leather now, or do you still have to have the full-leather option?
