Here is a pic of the wheel: -

E60 19" M double spokes

They are a more angular style than the new M5 wheel; -

Hopefully they will be the same as the M5. I have read that the M5 gets 255's & 285's. So narrow versions on the sport maybe. I did see a pic on my dealers pc and they looked fabulous.

Have you ever driven a 530d and if so what do you reckon is the difference. i only had a quick go in a 535d and the first thing that struck me was how much more refined the engine sounded. I believe the action is all over 60mph in the 535. 0 -100 in the 530 is 19.6secs and i'm sure i read 16.something for the 535.

I like them a lot! Gotta keep my 530d for a while longer! But my 535d will have those wheels!

Are they run-flats though?

I still can't find it on the web-site, either from the configurator or the prices/specs->Options! What am I missing?

@ question 2)

This hard acceleration was gone after my recent software-update.

But also was gone the nice strong acceleration from nearly the bottom of rpm, as the car now always shifts down.

It feels as the acceleration became worse.

I wanted my old software back. The hard acceleration when in cruise control was not as bad as the lack of acceleration now.

I have had various things tightened to stop creaking noises.

Specifically to the engine though I have found the lag annoying at times (may be expecting too much being at 6000 feet and with a detuned engine)
gear changes can be unpredictable
engine sometimes revs too high, out of the torque peak
some transmission grinding noises-had new one fitted which did not fix the problem and now waiting or a new DDE controler and software to be installed by BMW head office.

Overall I am happy with the car but there is a lot of electronics that seems beyond the dealer to sort out when things go wrong. Probably not unique to BMW.

Yes they are run-flats.

Your not missing anything. BMW have only added it to the options list. From my experience they take longer to update the configurator. I think the wheels are identical to the current M3's.
