X5 ordered: Input needed for wood trim and premium sound

Spend the bread on the premium sound unless you don't really care about music all that much. You will also thank me once you play a DVD on the NAV screen. Don't skimp on the sound trust me.

I have seen CB with dark bamboo and the dark wood. Both look good, either choice will be nice.

Also...wait for the September build for the upgraded 6FL (iPod is fully integrated into iDrive via USB only, and not the 3.5mm analog jack).

Premium sound package is $1800 for D. Since I am already getting 6FL, the cost will be $1400. And yes, I have requested my CA to delay my order so that I can get a September build for the updated Bluetooth and iPod/USB. From what I could gather, I may not be able to use $1000 from the ultimate drive event, which expires on 9/30, if I wait for a September build and not be able to take delivery by 9/30. I am willing to take a chance for the upgrade...

I do love listening to music and am pretty much decided to get the premium sound at this point.

I am still not quite sure about the wood trim Light Popular I have seen in pictures is pretty good to me, though not with CB. I also like Dark Bamboo. I would really like to see CB/LP in pictures or in person before I make up my mind...

$1640 at invoice, which is what you should get it at.

My deal with the dealer is $x above invoice. So, it makes it easy to add/subtract options.
