My first post, Im severly pregnant (ordered 10days ago, told its being shipped to the dealer, my first diesel, can you feel my beginners diesel complex?). No apologies for my behaviour!!!

post spec lock, went for the gloss black kidneys and side indicator panels in black also. both of which took like an eternity to decide on. way longer than it took to choose the "options" items like pro Sat Nav, Visibility package, Auto tailgate Op. what is it about those Gloss black kidneys on the Alpine Whites?

will post my spec in the next day or so, and pics on arrival.

still not sure about that diesel............................................ .......................
Hi C5 FOR,
Congrats fro your new ride and welcome to the forum.
Which diesel engine did you go for?
I can understand your concern having bought a diesel engine, I am still not ready to go this way yet and I wander if I will ever be.
I am waiting to see some photos of your ride soon.

Hi narvselius,

Thank you very much. No non-BMW upgrade plans.
I will most probably go with M double spoke 373 rims.

Finally it's here-m-doppi-raggi-373-9jx20-et44.jpg

Thanks for the welcome

Not the best time in the world to be picking the 535d (deep down I really, really wanted to), so I jumped in at the entry level 2.0. Never even test drove it before ordering. Im a fan I guess, 5 series Touring, whats not to like? currently in a 525i M Sport Touring that just purrs along like a dream. Never missed a beat in 3 years. Needed to improve my consumption and approaching that age where Im starting to think about the planet. But thats just noise around the fact that my budget wouldn't let me go any further after I spec'd it up. (I like my toys!).

Arrives at the dealer on the 19th, so should pick up on the 24th (Saturday), wouldnt want to pick it up on a dark wet Scottish evening when I can do it on a bright wet Scottish day!


What about your ride, everything you wanted?

Yep, I got everything and I am really happy about it. I was a bit sorry to give away my 4 years old E61 530i, but I have already forgotten it even though it was perfect. 120.000 km on the clock with no problems whatsoever.

Very nice. Very very nice.

What options did you choose?

Once again I am jealous, and curse BMW NA for thinking that we do not deserve the F11 Touring.

Thank you. I choose almost everything. Everything of the important and useful features at least.
