Help!! Options for delivery!

All.. dealer called me this afternoon, and wanted to know what options I wanted. He informed me they would be receiving the SL55's in the Fall, but had no idea how many.

I am eight- (8) on the list and do not see the dealership receiving eight- (8) vehicles.

So... Colors. I am leaning towards the silver/red combo, but do not think the pano roof would look nice on a silver car.

Tire pressure monitor? <--- Hmmmm

Keyless go? <-- YES

Xenons? <-- YES

1M, F550M, F550B, F40, S600, 365GTC, DBSx2, etc.
Sorry: didnt' catch this. Actually, I haven't even SEEN an options list yet, so I'm completely in the dark.

The silver over red/black must be fantastic. I've seen the color combo on a Z8, and in the Ferrari world they do Silver or usually Titanium over this bordeaux red...STUNNING.

It'll be a BEAUTIFUL car

not only does the pano roof look great...

But it will certainly add to the resale value down the road. It looks awesome on virtually any color. I saw it on a silver and dark green car and they both looked spectacular. Thats an option that I requested on my E55 which I expect in April '03.

I have seen that color in person and i think its a horrid color but i think this car could come in vomit-color and still look good...

Get Distronic and Parktronic..... you wont regret it... especially Parktronic... dont want any dings or scuffs on your baby do ya?

Also as for the Tire pressure monitor, its not even a choice... its a must have since these tires will be really hard to get.
