After ordering my Platinum Grey Metallic 535xi M-Sport, and watching it go through the BMW production machine on online, I took delivery last week. Mods began even before delivery! More planned for the weeks to come.

Here are a few pics of new new baby:

Looking good. Congrats. Seems I'm always a year too early for the new options. Would have loved to order the M Sport.

That's a very sweet ride you have. Yep, if I had to do it over again I would have spent the money on the options from the factory instead of all the modifications after the fact. Nice car!!

Thanks.

Car lifting tool is BMW speak for "a jack". Runflats meant no jack on delivery.

We must have front plates here in MA. Getting tagged without one is an insurance surcharge offense, like speeding.
