So, my current E61 523iM will be replaced by a shiny new F10 this summer, 520d

Here's the spec sheet (still time for changes):
-Solid Black. (Black is soo classy)
-Sport auto gearbox.(Tried the new 8-speed in a 530d F10 - soo smooth)
-Folding rear seats.(Comes w a package - should be standard :thumbsdown: )
-Xenons.
-PDC.
-Rear camera. (A must have! With the guide lines and PDC superimposed, parking will be dead easy)
-Tow hitch. (I tow trailers quite often)
-Sports seats (I'll go with Tudor - leather/fabric).
-Sports steering wheel.(Not as sporty as in the E60 but...)
-Ambient Light.(Very nice)
-HiFi Professional DSP. (A must have for me).
-USB (Same as w HiFi)
-Individual tinted windows (Cheaper to have it from factory than adding it later on..)
-18" 328's (Will probably become winter rims.)

I'm looking at adding:
-Brushed aluminium interior trim. (I like it as it isn't so prone to dust (you don't see it) as the hi gloss black trim.)
-Folding mirrors.

Can't wait! I'm promised june production (keeping my fingers crossed)

Very nice. Did you also order Ipod connection ? or it that standard these days ?

Is that car on RFT's or standard rubber and is there are spare wheel ? or space for a spare wheel because I heard conflicting stories about the tyres / spare ?

Congrats Scandic24

-Rear camera - A laugh. I had it in my test car. Maybe it needs to get used to. PDC is great.
-Tow hitch - When needed a must
-Sports seats (I'll go with Tudor - leather/fabric) - very OK
-HiFi Professional DSP -YES
-USB (Same as w HiFi) - If needed
-Individual tinted windows - Why?
-18" 328's (Will probably become winter rims.) - Go for the winters as you make the deal

I'm looking at adding:
-Brushed aluminium interior trim. - Not worth it, they look cheap (had them in my test car)
-Folding mirrors - If you need them..

Thanks

You'll need USB at minimum (and a special interface cable) to hook up an iPod or iPhone.
RFT's are standard on all models. No spare, unfortunately.

cheers

About the butt-cam . It is an absolutely fabuolus option if you have a caravan or a boat trailer.
You can switch viewing angle so that you see the tow hitch from above and with "gudelines" superimposed on the image. No need to run in and out of the car to hook up a trailer.
But the best thing is that the "dead spot", when beautiful women pass behind the car, is now gone!
Hence the new name.

Tinted windows - Perfect to prevent passing people from seeing stuff you might have in the backseat. It' looks very classy too.

Good call on the sport package. A BMW without it just does not handle like a BMW.
