Hi all,
Just wanted to say thanks for all your replies & comments. Especially to IrishEyes & DaveH. This site has been a great help in making a decision & in finding much more information than the dealers seem to have.
Took a while to decide & in the end went for the 525d SE. Could have gone for the 530d but with less options but having sat in a few tailbacks recently I concluded that the extra comfort might be of more use than the additional performance of the 530d. As for the 520d, when I tested it the performance didn't seem that much better than my existing E39 525d SE and the refinement definitely not as good.
Anyway here's the spec I ordered:
525d SE manual
Titanium grey
Amethyst leather
Maple wood trim
electric seats with driver memory (luxury pack)
Bi-Xenon adaptive lights with washers (visibility pack)
Heated front seats
6CD changer
HiFi speakers
Sports steering wheel
Rear side airbags
Electric rear & manual rear side sunblinds
High beam assistant
Non smokers pack
Now I have to wait until 1 June when my changeover is due. Can't wait.
Again, thanks for all the advice
