My Ride: 2006 530i Sport Silver Gray - Black Leather - Anthracite Maple Manual Transmission Premium Audio Cold Weather Package Rear sunshade Sirius Radio Autobahnd Roadblock (3M) film kit
Default

I just picked up my car this afternoon. I really like the body-colored reflector inserts - I might actually leave them in.


The R6 engine is awesome. The torque is really strong in any gear - I was accelerating very strongly in 5th gear on the highway at low RPMs and around town at lower speeds. I haven't taken the engine above 4K RPM, but even so it's great.

I have taken a few pictures - I put them here: http://mail.definitive.org/~ronl

I ordered it on March 12th - it arrived at the dealer this past Saturday - April 16th. I think they modified an order they already had in the pipeline though - usually it's about 2 months according the FAQ.

So far, I've got two items they're replacing under warranty:

-Gearshift knob that was scratched by one of the employees who must wear rings
-Main dash trim piece has a small quarter-inch long crack


The dealer was great about both things, luckily I saw them.

Congrats on your new ride UUronL, those pics are awesome

I see that you too have style 123 wheels and may I ask what tires did yours come with?

Cheers

Dunlop SP Sport 01 - I think they're run flat - I'll have to inspect them closely and report back.

We'll probably be on the same boat. Ordered 4/6, finished production 4/15 and is also awaiting transport as I type.
