2011 BMW 5-Series Configurator Live! How Would You Color and Option Yours?

Its surprising how close in price it is to the new M, I expected a huge difference in price not at all I guess Infiniti is using price as a consideration this time around.

The front end of this car needs to be taken back to the drawing boards and no I am a BMW fanboy. The front end design makes the car look so sluggish!

+1 on that bro!

Nah, it's gorgeous.

I'll take mine in BlackSapph&Oyster/Black thanks........

But with WHAT option packages and final msrp?

001

Oh, let's see............

I got pretty much everything except Active Cruise and Night vis.....and.............ouch I'm up to 78k. That's 10k more than a fully loaded E60 545i was...
Hmm, but the lease pmnt was $1,266. not too shabby.

Still, I can't help but think for similar performance I could get an E39 M5 and have a classic.......

2011 535i

Sport pkg
Cold Weather pkg

Heated seats
--------------------

$55,725

Oh yes, I forgot...

Imperial Blue/Oyster/Anthracite trim

You do realize for the same money you can get a V8 Infiniti M56 instead of a lesser 6 banger.

I'd take a 550i in Sophisto Grey/Dark Graphite with Cinnamon Brown interior with the Anthracite wood trim or possibly the Aluminum if i wanted to get all crazy on myself :).

I can't wait until the M sport package/body kit make it to the market. Also, I'm not a big fan of the wheel options at all. Not very aggressive or sporty in the least.

Oh, and all options. Do it right or don't do it at all I say.

I was pricing these as I need to get a second car that's not as much of a gas guzzler (even the V8 gets better gas mileage than my current car) and the sticker came out around $86,000. However, If I am going to spend that kind of money I'd much rather get a fully loaded 2011 V8 X5. It seems like you get more car for the money with the X5.

What I'm most surprised at is that I thought the new 5 would kind of...cannibalize a bit of the 7's market share but if I didn't get an X5 and really wanted a sedan I'd just pony up and spend the extra dough to get the 750i.

I would get a pink one so I can be a special prick on the inside and have a lot more in common with a porcupine....deboost me BMWSpies!

So a fully loaded 550i is bordering on a base 750i? That's a tough call.

Yawn!!!!!!!!!!!

550i Alpine White/Cinnamon with Aluminum Trim Rearview camera is the only option. MSRP $60,975

I ordered the 550i blk/blk w/ Prem 2, active ventilated seat pkge, convenience pkge, anthracite wood and headliner....$68,725
