Congratulations, looks really nice from the configurator pictures. I was never really taken by the SE looks, but those wheels in that colour looks really nice.
Does SE no longer have the chrome trim around the windows? I think that's what put me off the most.

Nice....
Welcome to the "diesel" club.
I'm on my second now, and don't think I'll be going back to a petrol (unless its an "M" of course
)
Just one thing though. I'm pretty sure that the 520d is the only LCI auto not to get the new 'joystick' style auto gearlever as shown in your config pics. That only comes as standard from 525 upwards. New 520ds still get the pre-LCI lever.
Might wanna confirm this?

520d is with the new autotranny from Sep 2007 production - together with new engine which both came with European MY 2008.
Kind regards

Thank's all you guys.
The EU MY '08 really has the new 6-gear autobox for the new 2.0 l diesel engine.
I also see the new safety headrests and aux-in as good improvement.
