Thanks guys, i've never seen such a friendly forum. Anyway, I live in Horgen about 20 minutes away from zurich. Anyway, I chose all of the options on the car and didn't have set by the dealer. Do u guys know if there is any real performance gain over the 530i, because i heard that weight can severly diminish performance. Was it worth the extra 9,000 $? Thanks.

Take heart Allam -

1. Yours is gonna be smoother across the range than Skaffa's
2. Yes it was worth the extra dosh
3. Why u worried - you can't really drive to its limits in Switzerland without being arrested, tortured and having it confiscated anyway!!

I've only got the 530D but the weight should be near enough the same as yours. Mine started to get much livlier after 5000 miles - both the car and I have got a bit looser now. This car feels considerably lighter than my 10 yr old 530i for sure!
