Hi,
I used a couple of hours to detail my new ride yesterday. After that it was time to make some photos. My first impressions of the newcomer:
- the engine gives good torque already under 2000 rpm
- very silent, the old one was a lot noiser
- 6 speed auto tranny combines best parts of a manual and an automatic tranny, very quick and smooth
- pre set buttons and changes in i-drive are really user friendly
- can hardly wait until break-in period is over
Best regards from sunny Finland

This forum was very useful in configurating the car in January as practically no information was available from BMW Nordic.
I am sure I will enjoy the 8th BMW in Family at least as much as all the previous ones: 520i -89, 520i 24 valves -90 ;then several Mercs
; 528i -00, 525iA -03, 530iA -04 and now 525iA 07 - yes I know, two are missing, 316tiA Compact -03, first my wife?s ride, now driven by my son, and 118iA -06 driven by my wife. All our BMWs have brought a lot of pleasury to drive, and to be honest, no major problems with any of them!
Best regards,
Jukka AKA TitangrauII530iA
