My Ride: 525d M Sport in Carbon Black
Thanks for all the positive comments, it's good to know i made the right choice in terms of colour scheme... I have to say my e60 has began repaying itself already, cruise set to 79mph on a 220 miles journey this morning i averaged 43.2 mpg, i think i'd be up towards the 50 mpg if i was closer to the national limit.
One small point, i called the dealer to complain about the lack of fuel as we had agreed a full tank and all i got was 1/3 of a tank, they will be topping me up on saturday morning, i then asked about the ipod cable to be told BMW don't supply these and in fact they buy them from a third party... any thoughts on this ?
Oh and lastly whilst driving south this morning, several e60's passed me and slowed to view the lights hehe were you one of these admiring gazers ?

What a great ride; colours & specs all get a big 
Congrats!
Those are the first photos I have seen of the new rear lights - they look the business
From my experience the 3er typically "feels" quicker than a 5er - assuming relatively similar engines of course. Does the 5er "feel" quicker than the 7er, or is it not that noticably different as with the 3er and 5er?

Out of interest - Does the engine have an engine oil level 'dipstick' or is this done electronically through iDrive?
Just spoke with my dealer and it is looking like mine won't be avalable to collect until Tuesday next week (24th) - car is scheduled for arrival at dealers this Friday (20th) - but I was hoping to collect then! Getting frustrated now - especially when looking at the pics of your shiny new car!

Yeah, it's quite cheeky of them taking ??? for the option then not including the cable, I'll keep that in mind next year 
I got my car from John Clark Aberdeen and have had great service for the last 3 years from them, much better than Calterdon in Inverness.
Great car BTW I'm really wanting to go for the carbon black 172 next time too but the cleaning puts me off It'll go fine for 6 months then I'll get fed up.
