Hello! All i can say is that the car is absolutley mindblowing. 535d
It has: M sport pack, dakota leather, logic 7, profesional nav, bixenon and all other gadgets.
Pics are soon to come.
First impressions:
1. the diesel is very strong although i never passed over 3000rpm because of the break-in period. it has an enormous rezerve of power and the power comes so linear and it seems it might accelerate till the end of days.
2.a bit dissapointed in the logic 7, i mean yeah it's ok for a soundsystem but not ok for premium. I can't quite feel the 2 subwoofers from under the seats. It's just a normal sound system to me nothing too mindblowing.
3. a bit dissapointed in the plastic used near the interior lights area! it could have been better for a 70 grand car.
4. the engine IS THE QUITEST DIESEL I HAVE EVER HEARD.
5. there are some times (seldom) when the transmission doesn't appear to make up it's mind. I mean yeah maybe my right foot confuzes it but come on pick a gear...
6 IN THE END...the car is absolutley fantastic! Despite what i don't like...it's like my dream came true. Hope i don't have any problems with squeaks and rattles. SO far (80 km done ) it's freakin' quiet in the interior. I mean for real it's spooky quiet.

Keep u posted on further experiences.
Thank you all alot because you all have been more than helpfull all this time i waited for the car. This is by far the best forum i ever took part of. hardly wait to pass the brake in period to explore the whole rpm range.
Pls: any suggestions about diesel engine in general (maintainance and so on...) , about the car would be more than apreciated. Thanks again.

Andrew D. from Bucharest...signing off...gotta drive :

PS: i didn't get the nav dvd...it's extra cost here

I also was surprised to see the cheap interior lighting. My E46 had higher quality interior lighting. Of course my E46 didn't have 325 HP

Congratulations on a beautiful car.

10x serge. Now my car has only 200km and i want to ask u all disel owners is 3000-3500 rpm alot to take at this kind of mileage? I mean it only happend once or twice because i pressed the gas a bit more .
And on highway i only reached 140. Is it ok? Plz tell me because if u disaprove then i'll just have to temper myself (kinda hard)
And another thing: i seem to have more "enemys" then ever. almost everyone want a taste of the diesel smoke not to mantion a few guys confuzed the car with an m5, probably because of the m pack. list: civic type r, clio sport, e 240 and so on...all those tried to hit on me. hmmmm...tyring to keep my cool
