I am not a fan of the Platinum Bronze, but do like the light poplar. As for the leather, I think it looks very good, but the maintenance would difficult. I have a seven year old, so there is no way I could maintain that color.

Couple of reasons, # 1 to save money!! I personally like the 528's better than the 535's however the 535's are faster.
Ah. and then you can get a 535 if you wanted to in a few months anyways...

I think I want to puke!
You Americans are really big on the wood trims - looks cheap and nasty in my opinion.
I can understand getting shiny wood trim in a 7-series, where the average age of the driver is 93 years. But seriously, in a 5-series, wouldn't you be better off with aluminium or piano black??
