* I would ultimately like to change the music without getting out of the car, so the glove-box changer works great for me, but I've heard BMW had some problems with it. Is it true? Am I better off with the one in the rear? Is there a way to install a non-BMW player/changer? I am in love with the new Sony player, but with the NAV system, there's nothing I can do - no more space in dash.
* I like darker trim, I think it offsets sand leather better, but I hear that it is so dark it seams nearly black and looks more like plastic than wood. Should I go for the light color trim? Dark looks great on all photos I've seen.
* Are Xenon lights and self-dimming mirrors really all worth the money?
* I am going for all packages, premium sound, Park Distance Control, auto, and NAV System on a 3.0i. Anything I forget that I really should know? Or something I got that is really not worth the money?
* Finishing touches like matts and so on: anybody bought any non-BMW ones? $130 seems a bit over the reasonable. Which ones to get and how much should I expect to pay? Same question for seat covers. I like the sheep-skin, but $495?!!!!

Many thanks!
P.S.: My last post is still unanswered. Anyone knows how to get the DME version and to ensure it's the latest? Thanks.

I have the dark wood with the black interior. I wouldn't have anything else. It is great. I would get Xenon headlights again for sure. And with all the other stuff you are ordering on it, you don't really want to keep adjusting the mirrors BY HAND, do you? The BMW floor mats are crummy. Get them from Bavarian Autosports. Much better.
