good luck getting an '07 with anything close to the options of the 4.8is at $55k. The 4.8is versions have the big engine, body kit, and all options available - plus the chiseled look.
The '07 on the other hand will skyrocket past $55k with even a hint at the options. Plus, it's a bit softer in looks in my opinion. I absolutely did not like the instruments of the '07 either - they're too damned small just like the Z4's. I looked, and almost bit but am very happy to have gone with the slightly smaller, more exclusive 4.8is '06 model. When BMW finally decides to spice up the '07 as a mid-life crisis I may feel different.
