now for the decisions - options!

anyone have the multi-function and / or ventilated seats on the M5? Are they they seats from the 7 series, or ventilated version of the M5 seats?

PS - Sold the 525 to a greatful woman in Iowa who wanted a 6 speed. Gone but not forgotten.

That's a nice present! ...as for the options, unless you absolutely hate a particular feature, I say load it up. Looks like there's only about $10K in extras anyway and what's the difference between $85K and $95K right?

....as my father has told me many a time, "Son, every family needs a leader!"

Congrats, the wait is the worst.....going from a 525i to an M5 is like going from hamburger meat to a 12oz filet!

Congrats on what's coming. You might want to try the M5 discussion. But, then, maybe not.

Allright! I would say 'load it up'. The ventilated seats are the exact same seats as the 7 series EXCEPT they have active side bolsters. Same shape, stitching ect... If you want the firmer, more bolstered 'M seats', you'll have to forego the ventilation option.
