You've also ordered the new 530d. I assume it will have 235hp/520Nm as the new X5, don't know it for sure. Do you have any specs for it? 0-100kmh top speed etc..?

 

Top speed not so sure , will let you know some morning early after it arrives Re the BHP spec currently is 231 dealer rekons one or two more points on top of that ......... but like all dealers im sure wont confirm details of a car that hasn't hit the showroom yet. your trim spec etc is similar to mine , only thing i didnt mention in my signature is i dropped the 530D badge for an M badge. When is yours due. Cheers

 

Sorry to be off topic, but I see that you ordered cream beige for your 2007, what color carpet does it come with?

 

PW is late April or early May, then 4 weeks after that I'll have it. And yours?

 

no problem, not sure the exact capet to be honest , it will be light coloured obviously but exact name of it is not on my order , hope they dont slip in Voilet without telling me :'( Spec on my order reads cream beige dakota and dark popular wood high gloss but nil mention of the carpet.)
any pics of that 72 , thats my dream to have 2 bimmers , one very new and one vintage for sundays !

 

Only info we have from dealer is first week of April ........... lets see if they meet that , will post some pics when it arrives.

 

Without being too scentific, I believe the most popular versions in Sweden are
E61 525i
E60 525i
E60 523i
E61 523i
E60 520d

A lot of them have M-sport, i think it's 35-40% of all versions, but otherwise they are not that well equipped. You could blame the tax system, but you also say that it's because of the Lutheran living up here in Scandinavia. Options are Luxury and Luxury is stil for many people.... :thumbsdown: But we're getting there. Albeit slowly.

 

It's funny and true. I've noticed a change the latest years, atleast when it comes to cars. In the late nineties when people were buying E39s they bought them with almost no extra options at all.
