Why do you need heated seat in Southern California?
I need the heated seats cuz I'm spoiled. Believe it or not, it does get cold here in the mornings. It get's down into the 30's sometimes during the winter months. It was high 40's this morning.
No 550. I'd love to have one (550 w/SMG), but they're pretty pricey, especially when you start adding 2k options here, 1k options there. Might as well buy an M5.

Hello All,
Just thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Jason, I'm 24 and from Riverside, CA. I actually had an M3 on order, but recently changed my mind. I decided to get something more practical. Primary reasons were, 4 doors, more room, better MPG, softer ride, insurance costs, and mod issues. If I had the M3 I know that I'd spend all my money modding the dang thing. Besides, we all know that the 5's are classy as H E L L !
The car is currently scheduled for production starting next week.
2006 530i
black sapphire w/ auburn interior
anthracite trim
anthracite headliner
navigation
premium package
sport package
automatic trans
comfort access
heated seats
future mods- aux input, tint, clearbra, and wheels. (love those radenergie r10's)
Oh yeah, and my uncle Ronnie "CWOARMY" is on these boards too. You germany guys probably know him from all the meets.

SoCal530, welcome and congrats on the new car
Now tell us the truth...did you change it because the 5's are classy as H E L L ! or because you read so many posts and couldn't resist?

No comfort seats?
