my 530i has the 545i ''look'. chrome grills were ordered seperately as an additional option.
trunk net is a gift from my dealer, very nice but have yet to go fishing.
some after thoughts:
the turn signal indicators took me some time to get used to, either i flash too much or keep getting into the way of the cruise control lever.
bmw assist is finally functioning properly, took some time to setup the initial connection. they are talking to you via satellite whereas the 911 emergency utilises the emergency channel of regular cell service in your area.
bluetooth is not yet available in north america because of software restrictions to north american systems. technicians are working on it. all hardware is already pre-wired in the car.
on the right side of idrive screen, 'vehicle function' is in place of 'nav'.
i love the red lights on the fan speed control dial, small 'wow' factor.
the rubber radio on/off/volume button looks cheaply out of place.
i love the thick and semi firm feel of the grip to the sports steering wheel, very extraordinary indeed.

rollee,
keep up the great photos.
maybe I missed seeing it, but how did you get the 545 chrome grill? Yours is a 530, correct? And also, did you buy the net for the trunk separately and add it yourself?
