Regarding the pics, I know it is stupid but I own a 65000 ? car and I do not have any digital camera... On top we are currently facing a cold end of winter and the car is awfully dirty.
I will try to manage something asap.
Regarding the central armerest it is standard shape and it is completely leather covered up to the begining of the dash.

Finally, I got my 535D last Friday. I drove up to know about 800 km (500 miles).
First conclusions:
- very silencious -> much better than my former E500
- the dynamic drive and the active steering are realy a must (I test drove a 530 D without a week before and it was far less acurate
- same for the comfort seats -> much better than the sport and the standard seats in terms of pain in the back
- very powerfull engine as good as the Mercedes V8, nearly also no vibrations (far better than the 530D)
- Idrive OK but my profesional navigation do not display all countries but only Germany, Denmark, and 2 others. The other as France, Belgium can be reached under Europe
Am I the only one?
-? consumption about 8 l from Paris to Brussels at speed between 120 and 160 km/h
- my RFT tyres are Goddyear NCT5 (very silencious) in 245/45/17/W, but why are they supplier RFT if you aford the optional spare wheel.
The only negative point is the rear suspension which is preaty hard compared to the front. I do not know if it come from the very high tyre pressure (from 2,6 bar to 3,2) 2,7 bar. May be it is due to the cold temperature we have just below freezing?

I too am getting black leather (nasca though) - what colour is your trim?
I have this real dilemma at the moment - I really want black trim, but not the black wood - I'm not convinced about it. However I have to wait an extra 4-6 weeks if I order individual trim and I don't want to wait - my only other option is light wood or dark wood, both of which I think look a little token in an all black car.
