My dealer told me Sport Auto wasn't available until June. It seems like you have it...
Nope.

The SAT comes with steering wheel paddles.

Super sweet ride. You've ticked all the right boxes. If you want we can swap rides mine has been fully worked-in now that it has 40 000km on the clock.

Yup. It's a new fly-by-wire transmission as well.

My Ride: 535d m sport - 9 Weeks to go!!

I have been to Bracknell (UK) today and test drove a few BMW's. One of those was the LCI 535d M Sport. The car was amazing to drive, very responsive and very smooth. The gearbox was working nicely and smoothly. I pushed a few times in DS mode and WOW
I also took a few pictures, one was of a carbon black metallic and the other a Platinum Grey metallic.

I have only moved the selector across so far to check that DS and Manual mode work!! Still rigidly keeping it under 3.5K rpm..........it feels awesome below this with monumental amounts of low end torque; so I can only imagine what it will feel like when I get the chance to properly stretch its legs - this however could be 2 weeks away yet!
