Ah, but BMW buyers like to load on extras, and the 2006 M Coupe is available with several. Start with the Premium Package ($2,500) which includes BMW Assist, auto-dimming mirrors inside and out, eight-way power M sport seats with driver memory, cruise control, a THX-certified Carver audio system, and storage nets on each seatback and on the right side of the center console. Then check the M Extended Leather option ($1,800) in Black or Sepang Bronze Light to upholster the door panels, A-pillars, sun visors, center console, and storage compartment door in genuine PETA-infuriating cowhide. Next, pop for the Navigation System ($1,800) which deploys from the top of the dashboard and includes an on-board computer and the audio system display. Those are the big ticket items: other options, both factory- and dealer- installed, are available.
