A warning to all new 535d owners...
As I'm sure you all know, the CO2 output on the LCI model is now only 182 and not 211 as it was before. When I received my Registration Certificate from DVLA, it stated that the CO2 output was 211! This means that the annual tax is more, and any company car tax is higher than it should be.
I eventually solved the problem by getting a letter from BMW UK which confirmed that my car was the LCI with the lower output.

So - all you new 535d owners out there - check those Registration Certificates!

In that vein have you checked the way the boot "floor" sits, tools, first aid kit, spare wheel if any, separators if not etc etc...
