the only interior shot of the car in a clean state at the moment! I am extremely pleased with the high gloss black trim......The comfort seats are quite simply the best car seat I have ever sat in (including Range Rover)
I've an LCI 535d m sport coming in a fortnight but it was originally ordered as a pre LCI car so i've never seen the options for an LCI...

Quite possibly - we need someone who has traded out of Pre LCI into LCI I think - even then though, I imagine the report will be on difference; I wonder if it is an existing box with updated mappings......
Just a shame the Sports Auto box isn't available until June.

I also think the high gloss black looks grey also - I can only put it down to my photography skills or the richness of the Carbon paint in contrast
Love your ride TC and all the pics - keep them coming!

...the only observation I can make at the moment against the car is that the steering rack isn't as quick as the 3 series...

A question regarding how the exterior Carbon Black "looks to your eye" to help me decide if it's the color I want:
Can you describe the color in your own words, specifically:
- Is there an element of BLUE in the dark color?
- Does it change or show up differently in different light (Sunny day vs. shade, fluorescent vs. incandescent lighting, etc)?
Why I'm asking? Planning to order a 550i myself, love blue & thinking Deep Sea Blue over cream interior.... might go w/Carbon however.... anyone else who has seen the Carbon black in person please chime in!
Thanks!

My reccomendation, get Carbon Black, but invest in some good car washing kit!!

I have a 525dT on order with a June 1st delivery. I noticed that the residual heat button on the climate controls are gone. Have BMW taken away the function or do you have to use the idrive to turn it on?
