My Ride: 2004 530i - sport, cold weather, premium and premium sound packages - comfort seats, active cruise, xenon, hard-wired phone, et.al.
Trading in my '04 530 for an '07 550 and guess what? As of the middle of the '06 production my Sirius radio is no longer usable, so I have to buy another one. Plus, I have a hard-wired Motorola phone that is not needed, since the new car will be Bluetooth. This is a leased car and they will give me nothing for having added these items, so they are coming out. The phone is a V60 and works flawlessly through the I-Drive. You can put it in yourself, but the car will then need to be recoded for it to work. Complete kit, including phone, was originally about $750. Same with the radio, the car will need to be recoded after installation. Cost of radio and installation parts was about $350. Since these are now worthless to me, I will accept the first reasonable offer to come along. If you have an '04, '05 or early '06 E 60 you could get a real deal here.
