The new features look awesome. I pick up my 550i in Munich on Tuesday July 13 so it too late for me to cancel and get the new stuff in September. I'll enjoy my 550i anyway for 2 1/2 weeks in Germany and the Czech Republic.

Also topview is available in September. There are many good reasons to hold off for September production.

Sounds like you're in for a ton of fun Paul... One of these days, I'm going to do an ED!

BTW, I think the top view is available now. My July build car was ordered with it and I'm pretty sure that if it wasn't available, the dealer would not have been able to enter it into the BMW computer system.

Right, but I think you [luckily] ended up buying one of the early cars that were built specifically for dealers so they could show/demonstrate some of the new technology.

Getting digital music, in lieu of the current analog music, out of an iPod is a beautiful thing. Plus it is cool to get the cover art.

Your car is spec-ed as the dealer roll out version which had Top View. Top view is very cool technology.

Today I actually saw a US specced 535i with german export plates in Malmö, Sweden. I guess it was someone on their ED. Anyone from here?
