FYI. Comfort Access is a paid option on the 760li. For that kind of money there should be no options.
Anyway i find HUD pricey and ACC.

My Ride: MY05 545i Jet Black with Auburn interior. SMG, Logic7, Sport Package, Comfort Seats, Navigation.
I think the most profit mark up option is the ventilated seat. It is a $4,000+ option since you have to get nasca leather, and comfort seat together.
In a Lexus, it's a mere $400 option.

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
The extra ?600 for "advanced" AC - which just gets you what is standard on any Audi A6 and even a lot of VW Passats !

I agree with the ACC (our Toyota MiniVan laser cruise was much less
). And CA should be included in the car. Options prices in generall have run away out of control in the E60. I still have the Monroney window sticker from my E39 and laugh at how few options there were back then. With the E60 I was able to option it past the little box on the left side and I didn't get all available options.

Night Vision seems a bit pricy although I will get it in my next car because I'm a sucker for technology.

When you see that the comfort access is only $500 on a e90 then you spend $20,000 more to move up to an E60 and ohhh the cost is $1000 for the same option. If we are gonna get ripped off, at least BMW should be consistent between models on how much they are ripping us off by. Don't ya think?
I didn't order it, it seems to add to the possibility of theft. Oh and its overpriced.
