As previously stated thanks to those that answered my previous posts and queries.
Well, here it is. I am thrilled with this car except the freakin' BTooth; it reconnects my 8800 after an initial pairing then engine off/ restart but i canno make a caal, in fact it seems to disconnect (from the car) while connecting the call leaving the iDrive 'hanging'; any thoughts/ tips very much appreciated?????????
Oh BTW, dealer gave me a brief spin in an M5 before picking the car up; what a comedy car that is, it's just a bloody weapon!!!! Wish i could find the AU$1/4 Mill for one :-)
Still, the 5er suits me down to the ground.
Cheers

Yeah, luvin' it. I couldn't a for a new one to get here; they quoted 5-6 months. I'd have losy interest by then, I once waited 9 months for a 2.8 Z3 in the uk. When it arrived i felt as if i'd owned it for 9 mths already; just my compulsive nature I guess.
Enjoy when your car arrives.

Sweet. That M sport is amazing. Have you noticed any harshness or roughness to the ride compared to a non M sport 550 or 545? Just curious
Thanks

Great looking car.
If those are the M5 wheels shouldnt you have a staggered set up with 245/35/19 at the front and 275/30/19 at the rear ?
Edit - ok you have gone for the 19/8.5 rims both front and rear.
