Don't know if you need to log in or register before you can get it, but it's free to register anyway

Also, don't really know what kind of handling they expect from a 5 door family saloon of this size, but hey, not a bad review...

I see you have also been taken in by 2 turbos!

Do you know if we will get the aluminium footrest I've seen in the various pics posted on this site? I don't recall seeing one in the showroom car at my dealer. Perhaps its just one of those "Week 9" things!

To be honest, I hadn't noticed the aluminum footrest, so I don't really know if we will get that - when is your car due to be delivered?

Due anytime first 2 weeks of March. I just hope there is a significant difference compared to my current car so as I can justify the swop. The 530d is a magnificent car.
