If not, order them because a retrofit will cost x-times more.
And I thought USB is standard ?!

Yeah cup-holders are standard here ( there would be a boycott of BMW if they werent!)
I'm sure USB is an option ( AUX input is standard though). I will go check it again now.

rear seat shades probably? L7?

Yes, you are and rsyed (rumman) going from 535d to 520d.

Release cash???? man, I had to pay extra to trade my 535d in for a 520d, and I assume you will be too...
Just spent the weekend in london, and I must admit, I saw far too many 520s there But then again, if you are "parked" on the m25, it really does not make a difference if you have 177hp or 286hp
btw - never looked back - the decision to downgrade was the way to go...
