You can get that in any 5-series. There are priority options too.

you can only get soft close doors on teh m5 , I believe. and the headliner in the 5 series is just black, nothing special, but looks better. the M5 has suade.

I'm not a fan of turbos, as rational as BMW tries to make them sound.

Oddly, I don't see the point of a 535i. If I just want a comfortable new executive sedan, I'd shop 528i or Audi A6. If I want a prestigious and quick exec sedan, then it's a 550i with that humdinger of an aero kit. And if I want any executive sedan, then it's off to the Classifieds for a E39 540i sport.

The funny thing the only thing I like about the 550i is that AWESOME M sport kit, it's beautiful!

Buying my wife a 535xi but would like to have the 18" wheels. However, CA says you cannot get all season tires for this wheel on the after market and BMW only offers the performance tire. He also says an all season might throw off the camber so I should not do it. Putting a performance tire defeats the purpose for her. Does anyone know if you can get all season tires for the 18"? Is the CA correct?

BMW will only give performance tires with those wheels. I prefer 2 sets of wheels for summer and winter, both on 18".
