Hi all,

For those of you who are tired of me whining about not being able to bear the wait for my 2008 LCI 535xi Sport. It is here. All I can say is WOW!

Thanks again for all who helped me through the difficult waiting process!

Here you go:
  • Cold Weather Package
  • Comfort Access
  • iPod/USB Adapter
  • Navigation System
  • Premium Hi-Fi System
  • Premium Package
  • Satellite Radio
  • Sport Package
  • Steptronic Automatic Transmission
Thought I'd post some pictures on my Flickr account of the new girl:

What do you think?

I went with black for the interior. I really debated going with the antracite headliner as well but in the end chose to go with the stock one. In retrospect, I'm glad I did. The grey headliner breaks things up nicely. I think it would have been too dark otherwise.

The only things I miss from my "old" ('06 530i Sport) are the active steering (figured living longer on winter roads was worth the trade-off unfortunately) and oddly enough the "handle" on the driver's side door. My LCI doesn't have one on the driver's side - only on the passenger's side. Very odd styling choice if you ask me.

However, love the car. The power is amazing and the styling is outstanding.

Congrats! May I ask why you opted not to get the M-pack this time round?

Good question. I ended up being a bit rushed when I ordered the car. My lease actually ran out a full month before the car arrived in the U.S. and my dealer was outstanding in letting me "borrow" an X3 for the month it took my car to arrive.

Had I taken more time, I would have considered that option along with the ventilated seats. I also might have waited a few months for the new sport transmission in the car as well.

As it is, I'm very happy with the car (with the exception of the wheels - see my other posting) and looking forward to putting a couple of hundred miles on it tomorrow.
