Just got back from the dealer - big grin!

I had a black 535D with 19" 172 wheels and sun protection, with pretty much all the options ticked.

It was a awesome drive home - not going to bother running in, just going to give it 1000 miles before I have DMS reprogramme it.

Already very quick, and a big improvement on my 330ci.

My phone even worked straight away (SE K700i)

I am not sure how long those rear tyres are gonna last

I also managed a nice 10% off list which was nice, and made it cheaper than the Audi S4 that I cancelled.

I seem to have taken to iDrive straight away, and found it pretty natural and easy to use.

Hopefully be a regular round here - not with problems though, I hope.

Nice one...mine comes in October, I moved from a 330 as well, and agree that the grunt of the 535 is great.

Congrats on a great choice...
