My Ride: 525d M Sport in Carbon Black
A few more images... loving every second of ownership so far... the engine is not noisy but i'm sure it will be quieter in time... won't be using kick down for a while though and will be staying below 3500rpm till around 1000 mls... a relaxed run in should make for a nice car long term.
Apologies if any of these are repeats, i tweaked the res to see if quality would be improved.
I can confirm my razr maxx moto phone charges from the usb port and hooks up to bluetooth with no issues whatsoever, hopefully i'll have the snap in adaptor for my phone some time this coming week, that may well enhance signal strength too, if it's simply somewhere to store the phone on long journeys and charge i'll be happy enough. sadly the usb does not pick up the memory card in my phone, now that would have been good as i have a 2gb card in the phone.
Ummm i love the carbon black too... in a multistorey carpark today it looked awesome, i dont mind spending a few hours a weekend cleaning this 'beastie'... quite looking forward to it, i have to say though a little gremlin is telling me i should have been bolder and gone for the Alpine White... it will be white on the next one though, that is if they do me an M5 in white in a few years

Congrats to your new car, I really looks gorgeous. I would have never thought that the Natural Brown looks that classy with the black exterior, definitely looks as good/classy as a "normal" beige interior color.

BMWskipper... your signature images remind me of my departing drive in my 745 se days before handover for my e60... I took the shot below as a keep sake, more a reminder of the 4.4 v8 ... for all the issues the car had, it performed sublimly on the long haul runs.

Congrats 
I'm guessing the dealer in question is in the Stirling area...
