My Ride: 525d, Silver Grey, Beige Leather, PDC, Sun Blinds
On Order LCI 523iA, Jet Black, Beige Leather, Heated Seats, Rear Sun Blinds, Bluetooth, M Steering Wheel
It?s here and in true German fashion perfectly on time; first thoughts after 500 miles:
I think I-Drive is Okay!, except trying to tune the radio without RTFM, too excited
Auto Wipers and lights seem to get confused, no dash display to say if lights are on?
Torque on 525d is great compared to previous 320d
Lack of Auto dimming mirror frustrating (may try the retro fit)
First tank averaged 32mpg
Ride on run flats is still better that 320d except for cats eyes
Only problem so far was that an aftermarket car phone installation (See pic) has triggered an air bag / restraint warning and disabled the I-drive menu button!, booked back into the dealer for resolution next week, all to be paid for by phone installer!
Pics of old and new attached (sorry for the MB lurking in the background!)

There is a small green LED near the headlight switch that illuminates when the lights are on...
