For a 530, that is pretty well optioned. I'm not sure if HUD was an option for 2005, so I wouldn't sweat that (I'm sure someone will correct me if necessary).

For my $$, I would require navigation. But that's a rather difficult option to find on 525/530's (did lots of searching in January before I bought my 545).

Everything else looks good, with one question though - they list "front and rear heated seats", but they don't list headlight washers or heated steering wheel. Does the car have the cold weather package, or doesn't it?

Decent price for so many good options. Too bad its pre-LCI.

Looks like a good deal, but what about the mileage? They didn't mention that in the ad?
I also prefer the Navi option, but it's still a great car.

Concerning the last question, I believe for Canadian cars, there is no such thing as the cold-weather package. With the Premium package, you get the heated seats, the heated steering wheel and possibly the headlight washers - but I'm not 100% sure about the washers.

Once you get your E60, be sure to come back and share pictures with us. The guys on this site have amazing insight to mods and issues/suggestions on the E60's.

We are also planning a GTA meet in the near future and it's always great to welcome Canadians to this forum!

Mileage is too high for that price.
