Well after just over a year and almost 20,000 miles, my 2004 E60 530d has gone - traded in for a shiny new E92 335d Coupe.
I'd like to thank everyone on this forum for all the help and advice, especially those who posted great reviews of their 535d's - I very nearly got one, but the 335d was just too tempting ;-)
Before someone shouts "This thread is worthless without pics", here's a picture of the new car:
I posted more pics over at E90post here
Personally I think the E92 is the best looking BMW for some time, and combines the best features of the E60 and E90. It's got great handling and the twin turbo diesel engine is superb. Time will tell if I will miss the rear doors, but the Coupe is a surprisingly practical car, especially with the split folding rear seats as standard.
When I've had it a bit longer, I'll try to find time to write up my experience of going from E60 to E92 and post it in the Other BMW Models forum here on E60.net.

Well you made an excellent choice, i'm also fond of the new 3 series coup?.
And i looked at your pics and they look magnificent.
Btw, what about legspace in the back?
