xBMWx, sorry I might have I misled you 
. I didn't order M-sportpack, just M-aerodynamic body-pack (as they call it in Finland) and sport wheel and some others not included in M-sportpack. I got Business pack, which might be in Finland only 
or not. Business pack in finland includes as extra: 17" 244 wheels with runflats, double xenons, cruise, extended AC, PDC front & back, business cd/radio. Beside of this I chose bluetooth phone, automatic boot lid, lighting pack, cup holders, roof rails, tinted windows, sport wheel .... I think that was it. Now, when I have read and looked at your beautiful vehicles I'm a bit sorry not to made different decisions. Anyhow, I'm eager and positive knowing it could be much worse 
I will post some pics when the delivery done.
Do you know if this Shadow line can be easily retro fitted?

That makes sense now
Nice set of options you have there -- love that automatic boot lid option! As for the options you did not take, you really don't want to be worrying about those, your ride will look great with the way you have ordered it 
Get some bigger rims on there in the summer, such as the M167s, and you'll be sorted 
Regarding your Shaddow Line question, it looks like a straight forward mod and should be cheap to purchase: check out this DIY Thread.

Thanks for the pictures xBMWx!
I had something like the first pic in my mind: 18" or 19" M6 for summer. Delivery comes with 244 17" radial spokes, which will be in winter use.
I did ordered mine with tinted rear windows but didn't realize to order satin black (is this what you mean by shadow line?). Interior comes with very basic Alba beige and high gloss black trim. I'm not so sure how it will look like as a packet.
Will see.

Great choice of car. Shadow line on the M sport is Hi gloss so no regret that you did not get satin black. The hi gloss is much better and also more expensive.
Few more pics of white E61:
Brand new:

More I see these Alpine White pics, more I like the color.
But I have to say it always looks better when shiny & new
