Today I picked up my 530d Sport in Titanium silver... I recently posted on this but I've moved from an M3 Cabriolet as it was 3 years old, needed service, 4 new tyres, warranty and we have a baby on the way!
All I can say is wow!! I was a bit worried at first as I loved the M3 however the above issues meant I had to change. It's rained ever since I picked the car up so someone is telling me something
It's a very different drive than the M3 but it's so quiet and the torque of the diesel is superb!!!
Car is spec'd as follows:
HUD
Navigation Professional
Bluetooth
6CD Changer
Advanced AC
M Rear Spoiler
Leather
Auto
My thoughts so far:
+ I Drive is great!!!
+ The drive and feel of the car is so much better quality than the M3
+ I love HUD
- The dealer lost my DVD for Nav so got to wait a few days
- The speakers aren't very good... can you upgrade them?
- I'm tempted to get the 19" wheels.... how much are they?

I'm glad I got the HiFi speakers. Worth the money!
Enjoy your new car. The 530d is great.

the speakers can be upgraded if you find a good ICE dealer.....this is my 2nd E60, this time i went for the HiFi upgrade for 370 GBP....better quality speakers and amp fitted and sounds a truck load better than the std system i had in my old SE model.
