E bay sellers

I am getting tired of e bay sellers describing their M5s as having 100% options, when they clearly do not. It happens all the time, not a big deal but it rips me, and there are alot of M5 buyers that don't know every detail and take the sellers at their word. case in point http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2002-...QQcmdZViewItem

silverstoned,

So it must have the split rear seats, sun shades and PDC. They must have 'forgotten' to list those out.

Yeah, all the time.

There are 5 options for that year:
M audio
Split rear Seats
PDC
Sun Shades
Rear Air bags

That car does NOT have shades, PDC or split seats. It appears to have M audio speakers.

It has a lug wrench in the tool kit, which is not standard...

Bob I know every nuance with these cars, and a quick look tells the tale, no PDC button or sensors, no shade button, and no latches for the rear seats.
MY2k does not have a button in the console (with the DSC and heated seats) for PDC, so you must rely on the rear bumper sensors , there were none in the front in Y2K. Just for the heck of it , did anyone know that you could get full leather in Canada W/ window shades and sport int.

This may be my weak spot in knowledge, but your subs in the rear shelf are larger than that of a y2k speaker, now this does not help unless you look at a y2k, which did not have M audio.
