My Ride: 525d M Sport in Carbon Black
Finally i was able to collect my e60 
Before i go into any detail... a special mention for the dealer... they took the shine off the whole experience.... promise after promise and when the car finally was avaliable to collect i was left waiting 30 mins watching my contact doing a sales pitch to other prospective buyers... now the good stuff
I think i may have screwed up the image quality, will fix later.

Delivery promises in order to make their Q1 sales they registered the car 2 weeks ago before it arrived, on the day of collection i was made to wait for my ?40+k car whilst the sales person courted another prospective customer... not impressed with the over all service, no matter though, the car is now mine, i'll maybe have my servicing done at another dealer from here on.

Nice Car. I was tempted to go with the Natural Brown, but decided to stick to Black. Is the colour as light as it seems in the pics ?
Mine has now been "released to carrier" - so I should get it in the next few weeks.
One of your pics still has your reg on
the one right in the middle.
