good advice. where are you in Cinci? I live in Georgetown, KY, just down the road.
I'm in Sharonville, just north of 275 between 71 and 75. I'll be glad to show you the 'beast' if you're in the area.

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.
Congrats on the news!

I have had my M5 for about a month now so I will chime in a bit. I have the M Multifunctional seats and absolutely love them. I could not imagine a more comfortable / sporty seat than these.

As for the other options, this is what I would suggest:

Must Haves:

1. HUD
2. Did I say HUD?
3. Full Leather ( I know it is expensive but it is damn nice)
4. Sirius Radio
5. Powered rear sun shade (especially if you have kids)

Waist of Money:

1. Comfort access


As for the the color, I have seen IB in person and it is a bit too loud for me. I agree on the Imola Red idea, that is a great color.


Oh and by the way, the car is an absolute rocket.


Cheers
