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...

Unhappy

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??

Like bmwfan05 said, that's not an option for us "Americans". I had an aluminum trim on my last car (Audi A4). Wasn't a big fan of it, felt too "fast and furious" or "cheap and nasty as you put it", not for me.

Nice looking 5er, BMWFAN. Looks like you take good care of it.
