what I said is that equipped options will vary depending on the price and the model

again you listed options that you think are important and relevant...


your listed 550i above is 83,125...

same options on a 535i 76,750...add on rear seat entertainment and ACC and I'm at 81,350 (on a 550i the extra's i add'd = $85,325), which IMO, is ALL the goodies

***perhaps splitting hairs, but then again I didn't know i was going to be subject to the scrutiny of pete550i



and check the current lease rates, another factor perhaps in determining which model works out best for an individual:


2011 BMW 535i Sedan Lease
24 Month ? Residual 62% of MSRP ? .00225 Base Rate
36 Month ? Residual 56% of MSRP ? .00225 Base Rate
48 Month ? Residual 41% of MSRP ? .00230 Base Rate
60 Month ? Residual 33% of MSRP ? .00230 Base Rate

2011 BMW 550i Sedan Lease
24 Month ? Residual 59% of MSRP ? .00230 Base Rate
36 Month ? Residual 53% of MSRP ? .00230 Base Rate
48 Month ? Residual 39% of MSRP ? .00230 Base Rate
60 Month ? Residual 32% of MSRP ? .00230 Base Rate


don't know why you think your opinion is the only opinion that matters and/or is correct around here pete..amazing how you can never seem to participate in a discussion without taking a jab at someone...this last post by you only continues to add to the evidence to the fact that you are indeed a troll unfortunately, I hope you prove me wrong tho

I may need to do my homework, but let me know when you actually show up for class....

Lightingball2: sorry for the threadjack...

BTW, I don't know where you got your math but with the options I've listed above on a 550i, the total comes out to $80,875 according to BMW's website. (still under $81K)

If I'm forced to go with a 535i, I wouldn't go crazy and load up an already heavy car with every possible option and strain that 6 cyl. engine even more. (The V8TT has more than enough power to take it but the 6 doesn't). The 535i is best enjoyed with just a Sports package and a manual (or 8p AT) for best performance......this is just my opinion, Gene, so don't get your panties all in a bunch.

Back to the original thread.....F10 M-Sport's are going to be extremely rare....best bet is to order one equipped to one's liking.
