I think the 530i on B&B's website is equipped with the older engine and the new 255hp I6 is new for 2006. In my opinion, it might fit the 06's, since they all share the same platform/chasis, meaning the 05's and 06's are E60s. I'm just guessing and speaking from experiences I gain from modifying Subaru's. I.E. WRX turbo-back exhausts bolt up to STi's perfectly since they share the same chasis. Just my 0.02.

The movie on B&B sounds good, but still a bit subdued, anyone out there have any alternatives?

[/quote]I would not call my B&B on my 545i subdued. My 545i is louder than my Z06--not that Z06's are known for their loudness--unless fit with especially some aftermarket exhausts.

[/quote]Donv -
just spoke to the B&B rep - he told me to order off the website for a 10% discount - did you get that deal as well?
