[/quote]L7 is the best stock sound system I've ever seen.
It has a total of 13 speakers, including the two subwoofers under the front seats, and comes with an equalizer. You can select concerthall or theater with the L7 processor.
The sound is great!

Today I took delivery of my 535d. What can I say, I love it. The M-sport pictures don't really do it justice, it looks so much better in real life. 
I am really happy I took the rear spoiler, looks so good yet it is subtle!

[/quote]Nice car sounds like the options doubled the price and weight of the car. Must be fantastic though - top motor.

[/quote]In the UK at least, the 535d sport doesn't come with dynamic drive and I think you can't order dynamic drive with the sport suspension. I seem to remember reading somewhere that it is lowered suspension that 'uses some m components', rather than being full blown M suspension - the M5 has user selectable suspension settings.

[/quote]Thanks for the reply, hope the car is going well! Do you think that the Sport model suspension on your car is the same as the suspension I curently have on my 530d i.e optional sports suspension? The disapointment may be starting to set in as i am not very impressed with my current cars bodyroll in bends.

[/quote]To be honest, I can only see that they refer to the 535d sport suspension as 'M Sport Suspension', and the option for other cars as just 'Sport Suspension'. I also don't seem to see them referring to M components anywhere about the optional sport suspension - given that the 535d engine is probably heavier, produces more torque and the car is [I suppose] considered to be a more performance oriented car, one would expect the springs to be stiffer and dampers to be calibrated differently to the 530d - but I am just guessing - ' hope you are not dissapointed.
BTW my car hasn't arrived yet, it is due to arrive in late May, so I am just patiently waiting

[/quote]All normal E60 ( including 535d ) have 3 different shock obsorbers available ( different part numbers )
1) Normal
2) Sports
3) //M Sports
Then you get M5 suspension
The sports and //M sports use the same springs , but the sprngs fitted to a particular car depend on the options ( some options increase weight, thus springs are changed )
