...I do not think that (talking about the "new" 535d) an addition of 14 bhps and 1 tenth less on the 0-60 time is that noticeable by any DRIVER ...

I may be wrong, but I do not think that (talking about the "new" 535d) an addition of 14 bhps and 1 tenth less on the 0-60 time is that noticeable by any DRIVER ... I think the whole thing has more to do with marketing than substance

I saw few of them as well by my dealer last week and I must say that BMW did a great job as the new does not make the previous looking old on the spot like is normally doing Audi.

Time for me to reload some pictures that I took at the AutoRai 2007. BMW displayed quite some cars there, including 3x 1-series, 1x E90, 1x E91, 1x E92, 1x E93, a FaceLift BMW 550i E60, a BMW M5 Touring E61, a BMW X4 4.8i (E70), a BMW M6 Convertible, a BMW Z4M Coup?, a BMW X3 3.0sd, and a BMW 730Ld. Quite some interesting cars to watch.
The pictures I post here are from the 550i and M5 Touring, as some "new" color-combinations might be of interest to some of you guys.

Look here for the pictures of the 550i FaceLift
Type: BMW M5 Touring

Today (well, actually yesterday) I had the opportunity to visit the dealership for a "sneak preview" of the new BMW's (5-series, 3-series Convertible and X5), as the official introduction is due for today. I have made some pictures, which I would like to share with you in this thread. Well, I have to say that BMW has done a great job on improving such a nice, modern and elegant car even more. Everything I liked about the "old" E60, I like even more in the "new" E60. 
Anyway, here are the pictures:

That deep sea blue looks AWESOME! First time I've actually seen it on a real car - thank you for the excellent quality sharp pics.... now I'm very much leaning towards that color on my LCI 550i.....

Regarding my previous post in this thread - apologies if I quoted the wrong text -- the link I mention is the one on the LCI facelift 550i with the german spelling of "deep sea blue"... one of the first couple of posts in this thread.... thanks again Skipper!
