B&O - yes if you can tell the difference, most can some can't.
CP - yes on M5

Charge per month depends on how you are purchasing or leasing the vehicle. I lease my M5, so for every $1000 I add, I'm looking at around $12/month. For financing, it will be more. Also, there's a large variation depending on how good of a deal you've made. If option costs are that important, why the rush in placing your order?
Regarding the B & O stereo upgrade, most love it. I love it, but I listen to music often, and critically. Regarding the ZCP upgrade: There are several posts that give pros and cons about the package. I have it, and am happy I got it. It's probably too expensive for what your get, and its elements probably should have been part of the core vehicle to start. I went with the 601M wheels, instead of the 343M wheels. The 601M look better in person versus pictures. It's a personal choice. The 343M are, ironically, lighter and likely stronger. Both look great.

I'll keep this simple.
- Only get B&O if you ride in your M5 a lot by yourself. - Only get CP if you are going to track your M5 more than 2 times a year or if you want bragging rights/look of 601M wheels. That's as simple as I can make it. If you get those things for any other reasons than those, in my experience of owning an F10 M5 for over a year and a half, they are a waste of money.

1. B&O Awsome but probably too much for what you really get! Because you have to be an Audiophile to do this! And sadly I am - and they look amazing too -
2. Subjective: I probably like 601 being more unique than 343 but being not forged and pay more for them being about 5 pounds or so heavier each!! No I wouldn't do it... It is like having the car with empty tank when you have 1/2 tank - weight different ... I am exaggerating a bit !! Couldn't justify the ZPC financially and I have to say that so I feel good about myself -; ) LOL I believe 601 are easier to clean though, as 343 are really hard to clean !! my 2 cents sir - |

Get Full leather too. It really improves the look, feel and appearance of the cabin.

Agreed. If you don't get Full Leather, it'll feel like you bought a 528i sometimes.

but not really worth it if your trying to keep options low. There are many more more important options

♤♤♤♤ Stripped M5 ♡♡♡♡
I always cared for options and my Ex-- 550i was probably more loaded than my M5, but now I know why some people don't care about options when choosing their ///M... Gimme M5 stripped of all options and I will be still very happy to drive it, it is all about driving it... I never like in NEVER turned down my radio to listen to my exhauste -; ) except in this car... My message too you.. Get it base or get it fully loaded you will be really really a satisfied driver either way... Stripped 9/10 satisfied 1/2 loaded 9.5/10 satisfied Fully loaded 10/10 satisfied but not financially savvy unless money is not an issue at all then of course get it fully loaded CCB AND Leather too - Having said that, HUD is sweet - Last edited by soooma; 03-16-2014 at 08:01 PM.. |
