My Ride: 2006 530xit. Alpine white/auburn int. Automatic, M sport package, premium package, navigation, heads up display. 2003 745i. Black/black int. Executive package.
Cool

Just purchased an Alpine white 530 xit/auburn int. automatic, M sport package, premium package, navigation, heads up display ($87,300 Cdn). The car is scheduled to arrive at the dealer in June (better hurry up). I had originally ordered one in January after seeing it at the Detroit Auto Show. I later cancelled my order thinking I really didn't want a wagon (currently drive a 2003 745). However, I wanted a vehicle better suited to transporting the dog so I stoped by my local dealer two days ago and inquired as to when the touring models were going to arrive in Canada? My salesman checked his computer and informed me that they were scheduled to arrive within days. I left giving him my wish list of options thinking I would have to order a 530 xit. He called me the next morning and informed me that the owner of the dealership had ordered virtually the exact car I wanted and that I could have if I acted quickly. I gave him a deposit on the spot and now am just waiting for it to arrive. As soon as I have it I will post some pictures.

Congrats on your car Sean. I'm waiting for redelivery of my 530xiT (picked it up in Munich about 3 weeks ago, Silver-gray with black). About the M sport package, is this the same as the retrofit M Aerodynamic Kit? is this a factory option in Canada? In the USA it's not a factory option (you can only order the parts (primed, still need to be painted in the body color)

The M sport package is a factory option here in Canada ($6,500 Cdn). It comes with the aerodynamic kit, 18" M wheels, sport seats, sport steering wheel, different headliner, roof rail delete.

Doesn't that Alpine White in question have special RIMS? Are those the Mtech Rims? Also, isn't that car lowered more than just the Sports package height and aren't those tires larger than 18 inches? They look like 20 inch. Those rims are gorgeous.
