I know its been said many times but the reflectors over the wheel wells just gotta go. No way will they grow on me
Totally agree....it looks out of place.

OK, you're the 1st person I've seen with a 535i.

Any comments? Acceleration, handling, etc. A review is needed!!

Please post more pictures of your car and the natural brown interior, that is my exact color combo for July pick up!

Digital60,
Great color combo!
From the e-brochure that was floating around on this site, I thought that color combo was not available.
Looks good!

Please pretty please. Take interior shots lots of them with and without flash so we can really see what the color looks like.

Hey Everyone. I have been out of town for a few days and had limited access to a computer. I will follow up with a review shortly. Here is a couple pics at "Ultimate Drive" in B'ham at my dealer today.

I really like the way the car handles. The cream beige interior is very nice. I know it does not show up as an option with Space Grey, but if you ask your CA they should be able to do it. You can see the options from the sig below. The M-kit will be installed this week. I cannot comment on acceleration because I've been trying to take it easy, but throttle response is very good. I have driven a 335, and it closely compares with throttle response. The ipod option is sweeeet! No problems with bluetooh connect. I have a cingular 8525 phone.

Suspension is somewhat firm, leans into curves and corners very well. Overall, a thrilling drive.

Lou, not much drive time - wacky busy at work right now

First impressions: Trying to get over the distance in luxury between 330i and 5 series. Wow, deeeeeluxe. Acceleration is excellent, even in civil "breaking in" driving. I'm always going faster than it feels - 330i always let you know where you stood. Tanny is like butter - blows away the A6 which IMHO is unpredictable. My first auto in many years, very nice. I've initially noticed some hesitation in the coasting area between acceleration and deceleration - that seems to be decreasing. However, only 68 miles driven...

More soon.

Got this one taken before it was too dark for non-flash pictures. Not a great picture, tried to do some color correction to get brown color close. Pictures do not do it justice...seats look less "outta place" in real life.
