My Ride: E60 525d M-Sport Saloon M57N2 3.0d LCI
EXTERIOR: Jet Black, ///M-Aerodynamic Bodystyling, ///M-Rear Spoiler, De-badged, Gradual Tint Windscreen, ///M-Double Spoke 172M 19" Alloy Wheels (with non-run flats & space saver spare wheel) & ///M-Sports Suspension;
INTERIOR: ///M-Steering Wheel, Black Dakota Leather Heated Sports Seats with Electric Lumbar Supports, Brushed Aluminium Interior Trim & Anthracite Headlining.
Spoke to my dealer today - I have ordered a 525d M Sport (wish I could have afforded the 535d but couldn't stretch that far). The new LCI 525d does however have the same 3.0d engine just detuned compared with the 530d, and without the 535d's twin turbo's etc.
My dealer told me it was scheduled for week 17 build (not sure when that is? Can ayone help clarify when this is?) with anticipated delivery by W/C 23rd April - so I have a good few weeks to go! Can't wait.
Car ordered as follows:
E60 525d M Sport Saloon M57 3.0d
Jet Black
Flashlight Cloth / Nappa Leather
M Double Spoke 172 19" Mixed Wheels
M Rear Spoiler
Wish I could have extended the options list but couldn't stretch any further! Still, should be a fabulous car! This will be my first BMW! Good to hear I'm not the only who is getting so excited at the prospect of getting my new car!

Sounds great. Week 17 is the 17th week of the year, beginning January 1. As such, W17 is April 22. Not sure about the delivery date you were quoted as it takes about a week to build the car. Also, don't worry about all the bells and whistles right now, enjoy the engine, enjoy the performance, enjoy the handling--that's what makes a BMW.
Not so sure about actual production taking a week - my last new car off production line was a Range Rover Sport - having been a member of RRS.co.uk for many months it was apparent from feedback from LR employee's that the cars took less than a day to build........

I ordered 2 535i's, one Platinum Gray Metallic, and one Black Sapphire. They both completed production today. Now awaiting transit.
PS, why 2 535s?
