Anyone knows if the real time traffic included orlando,FL or not? because I think there is only certain cities have traffic info with this Nav, I don't wanna get the Nav and can't see traffic in orlando.

#1 - for the nicer drive and handling (I mean come on, it's BMW!), and Navi if you plan to use it alot (real time traffic info in '07s, so this is greater than before!)

#2 - If you don't care for the extra handling / drive experience. Got a garage and want the buttons to open it? Go with this. Want auto-dimming mirrors? You need this.

I'd sacrifice #2 and go with #1.

Yes, it should. Check out the pdf in this thread: http://e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29184

At the bottom of the PDF is a table showing "Planned Coverage." Orlando is there, and so is Tampa yay! (and others of course)

I say get the premium package. The e92 suspension on the nonsport is the same as the sport, the only differences are the wheels and the seats. There will not be a significant difference in handling trust me. On the other hand, can you have a bimmer without leather. Honestly I feel that if you are gonna drop 40k on a bimmer it better have leather seats. You can always buy a portable navigation, or buy new wheels after your car is built, but you can't change the interior. Thats just my opinion, but if you really want the sport seats and wheels and NAV more than a leather interior and a power seats, go ahead.

I saw the list, orlando is there, but it is the only one didn't indicate which state. I hope it meant orlando, FL. I am not sure how many orlando in this Country.

Since its an E92 its already got the sport suspension standard.

I'd honestly skip all three packages and use the money to get some rims later.

Orlando is a major city. I would think so.

Yeah but no sports seats. And those are honestly probably the most worthwhile option on the E92. Even more than the Logic7 for the 328i.

My vote: #1, Sport package. And if you could swap out the Nav option for a stand-alone leather option, even better.

I am thinking about using 2000(sportpackage) + some more $$$ to get a set of aftermarket rims or getting sportpackage

finally, i will choose premium package because of the red leather for my white E92

the new Navi program is pushing me to get one but matter of budget

Thankyou guys

Dude, get both. For ~ $2k more on 2), get it. Otherwise, you'll be kicking your own ass later for not getting it. Getting aftermarket wheels or other accesorries can always be done in the next few years whenever you can afford. For these options, you won't be able to retrofit or if you will, they're gonna cost you a lot later.

well for the 328, that sport pkg, u getting the better looking rims and larger tires and better seats for i think $1k. that's not bad... even though the suspension may not be getting a upgrade for that money... with the 328 this sports pkg looks like a setup by bmw that you're gonna bite.
