Default Picking it up on Monday......

Can't wait. It's a Flint Mica (with black interior) '05 330. Went to see it at the dealer on yesterday as they were putting on the 3M coating. Dealer prep will be on Monday morning. Pretty much fully optioned out ie: Navi, Mark Levinson, DVD, Leather, AWD, HID's, Adaptic Headlights, etc.....
The only thing I will modify right away is new 18 inch wheels which in my opinion looks a whole lot better. Had a dream a couple of nights ago that I was driving it and stepped on the gas only to get about a 5 second hesitation in the transmission, I hope that wasn't foreshadowing.

Here in California you get the 18" wheels standard AWD with the only package available...Premium Plus.

Here the 18's only come with the sport package which includes the Panoramic sunroof, but then no DVD entertainment system.

Congrats! I picked up my '05 last Tuesday. I have the 18 inch wheels, but not the Mark Levinson audio or Rear Seat Entertainment. I never used the Rear Seat Entertainment on my '04 anyway. I'm enjoying the NAV and bluetooth handsfree a lot.

Picked mine up on Saturday ... AWD -- Premium Plus and all that generally comes with that except Navigation, add chrome 18s and tow hitch. Onyx Black with Light Gray interior. I'm loving it so far.

Kinda thought I'd regret not getting the Navigation, but I"m glad I saved the money b/c it's nothing more than an expensive toy here (Nebraska), but it'd be pretty cool. I thought it'd make the middle cluster look a lot better as well, but I'm surprised with how pleasing the look of the center cluster is w/o it. MSRPed for $42,898 w/o chromes.

Let a friend drive it yesterday afternoon and we were following a truck carrying a couch (we were quite a ways back though) and the couch came flying out towards us on the interstate and we had to swerve pretty quick ... really got my heart racing!
