When do you expect the 530xi to arrive? What options did you order?

Thanks guys!
Well being that I had to wait to sell my 540is in order to place an order for my 530xi I had to wait a while and cannot make my dealers first allocation. However he pretty much promised me for sometime in late June, through early August delivery. I do not mind though for the wait and my dealers a pretty cool guy and worked with him before, so I know hes straight with his word.
As far as options, well what didnt I get? lol. I decided to go with a fully loaded 530xi instead of a 545i with just a few options. I'm a gizmo freak so I like my little extra "toys" and the new 255hp motor is more than enough for me now anyhow. Here are the stuff I ordered:
2006 530xi
Premium Package
Sport Pakage
Premium Sound
Cold Weather
Auto
Comfort Seats
Ventilated Seats
Perforated Leather Front Seats (required for ventilated)
PDC
Navigation System
Thinking about the wheels though, whether to opt for the 18" offered for summer months or get the 128's seperately and keep the ones the car comes with during the winter months.
Na eese kala.

NES, do you really think that you'll want or have to change over the tires for winter? In the New York City area, if it was me I'd wait and see how you do before going to that expense. Maybe the tires with the sport package won't be suitable in your area for winter....but maybe they will be.

Hey Bart001, thanks for the reply... U know what it is... I commute alot for work so aside from the high mileage I also drive up north to MASS too. However the tires that come with the sport package I beleive are summer performance tires. I has performance tires on my 540i and they were terrible when I needed them most. With the stock configuration they give you all-seasons which are definetly just as good with what im aiming for. Say, would you know if the offsets on "xi" model cars are the same as in regular "i" models? Thanks again for the help!
