Ok, I've had my 530 for a couple of months, and have compiled a list of 'wishes'. I'll consider performance mods once they are previlent. What do you guys think? Am I missing any?

I've written a letter to BMW NA regarding a request to clarify the SAT radio working with NAV, Blue tooth. I wonder if they'll respond...

Here goes:

MP3 Player Working - Needs a software upgrade ? Fixed in 12? 12? 0
SAT Radio - On my sticker/invoice it shows SAT Prep with no charge. Do I have it? I have NAV, so right now it doesn?t work. Wrote a letter to BMW NA ? Fixed in 12? 12?
Rear set Trim - Need to replace plastic pieces in backseat with wood replacements. Need to find out what type of wood trim is in my car. $100
Bluetooth Option - Not sure ? letter to BMW NA, but hopes are dim $300-500???+ Blue tooth cell phone
Install cell phone - Tough call. If the Bluetooth component worked, then I?d just use that and replace the treo 600. As it stands now, the only choice is a BMW cpt 9000. Can?t decide what to do $800
545i Grill Replacement - Silver Grill instead of Black $130
Daytime Running Lights - Just a service only setting for next service 0
Headlight covers - Protects the headlights from chips $30
Clear Bra - Protects the paint $500
Stereo Upgrade - Really only want to enhance the speakers. Don?t want to replace the interaction with iDrive. No clue as to where to begin, but the longer I wait the more options will be available. $1000

So you'd settle for a DD spoiler, a lip as fat as money can buy, a gorgeous provocative rear and a big chick...?
(if I understand you correctly)

i put the 545i Grill Replacements on my 530. looks great. the black grills look a little more sportier but i like the 545 grills.

taking the grill out almost feels like you're tearing the car up. there are no screws. it pops in and out.
