5 series looks great. Congrats on your purchase. I think we can forgive you for settling with the fat boy.

Man I miss that interior on my 03 530i...the fit and finish was definitely much better than both of my current E9x's.

Love that color combo.
Not to burst your bubble, but I don't think you have the sports package. The wheels give it away.

Yeah no sports package on that. Mine didn't have it and it had the same wheels.

Thank you. I have a specifications sticker from BMW on that car which says it has sports package worth $700. It Includes Power Front Sport Seats and Shadowline trim. I dont know what other options the sports package has..

Nice car man!! Do they make an OEM front lip for the 5's? That would look pretty sick. You should hook up with a 5 series forum and see what those guys are doing to their cars.

It will make perfect sense to remove the MB plate holder!

It's cuz it doesn't have navigation. The one's with nav are 8' big. The one's without them are 6.5'

Is the front portion of the seat bottom adjustable? If it is you have the sport package.
