Hi all. As of only a few hours ago, I am the new owner to a gorgeous 525d M Sport. It's got a massive spec and I've been loving every minute of driving it.

Full list of optional extras are:
Black dakota Leather
19" 172M wheels
Visibility pack
Bluetooth phone prep + telematics
DAB digital radio
Dynamic Drive
Elec Fr Seats + Driver Memory
Ext. mirrors - folding. auto dimming
Head-up Display
Hi-Fi system LOGIC7 Professional
Navigation-system Professional
Night Vision
Seat heating. front
Steering wheel heating
Universal remote control
USB interface
BMW ConnectedDrive-Assist and Online
Metallic paint
Auto gear box
Rear side airbags

I got a really good deal on it as I got a lot of stuff included within the package. Anyway, after having my mind set on an E60 for over 2 and half years, and on the forums for the last 2 years, I've finally saved (and stretched) to become the owner.

Pictures to follow...in the mean time, I better change my signature

You forgot to include a shiny new gromit in that spec list ...

Congrats ...

Congratulations! What a great spec. I just came from an LCI 525dA, so know you'll be loving it

In case you missed it, there is an easy and relatively cheap plug & play OEM mod to change your standard Auto to the Sports Auto (SAT). It means you get the new shifter, but more importantly those lighting fast gear changes. The DIY was posted in the DIY section of the forum by member RSYED and has also been done my member 525dSport.
(The wheel with paddles mod is not part of this DIY)

unfortunately not
Only for the LCI cars. It costs about EUR 450,- for all the OEM parts and its plug and play at home. IMHO one of the best mods you can do to an LCI, because it uses the existing software and OEM parts, i.e. no risk, just benefit.
