thanks all. I like the M seats, but want the ventilation. the difference is adding about 6200 in options to do it, though. I am between indy red and interlagos blue. anyone who has seen both in person want to comment? i am a huge fan of imola red, and if it's close, all the better. looks like a Mar build from what I understand.

I'm never going to meet ur wife, but I can tell she is very cool already! lol as everybody says load her up, and IMHO Indy Red/black/walnut madeira is the way to go! but once again you have to make that ultimate decision, if only BMWNA would stop being so damn anal, this would be a great choice/time for individual

My Ride: '04 545iS 6 spd, bought new via eBay, 11/05; Blk/Gry, Cold, L7, PDC, BMW Rear seatcover for pets.
First "Bumwa" was a new 1971 2002. High performance 5s since 1987. Beamer motorcycles too, currently on an 07 BMW K1200 GT; also a Moto Guzzi 1000 SP III.
Hmmm, Hope she gives you some green too.
Any military discount?? My first BMW, a nearly new 1971 2002 was purchased at the Canadian PX in Germany by a US officer. Got it back to the US and his new wife refused to learn to drive a stick. Whoops... I was stationed at APG at the time--the right time--and bought it for $2000. It had about 4K miles on it; only peculiarity was the German manual. Those were the days when people didn't know what they were, and ergo, my "BUMWA" moniker.
Put another 100K on it and have never turned back.
Good luck,
Ray Hull

Congrats. That 2.5L never did fit into your current stable.

didn't want to rub it in, but yes, serving in the desert does have one benefit, about 6k off on a new M5. I'd be stupid not to, but this one will definitely be my daily driver.
