Got a call from my dealer today and he said the magic words .. "your car is here!". Needless to say I rushed over to the dealership to have a look at it. Unfortunately, it won't be ready for delivery until Monday as they are just preparing it now..sigh...its gonna be a loooong weekend.
Anyway, here's a sneak preview from my camera phone...can't wait!!!
BTW, the Comfort Seats are AWESOME!!

Hmm...still a little puzzle about 540. Did they bring back the 540i and put in the E60 body?
This is the first I heard of it. Is it only available at certain area?

AFAIK, it's available in all markets in EU, as well as most markets in Asia & SA.
