I will post more exterior pics later.
I thought that some of these would help some of you to check some details in the equipments which can be diferent in other countries.
Until now 1.000 kms just running fine.
The fuel average is around 8,5 liters /100 km.
The run flat system warned a flat tire once. False information. Just have done the reset and is runnig again.
The CD player will start from 1st track after switching the car off.
Just ask whatever you want guys...

It looks really great! I wish we could order that steering wheel, but it comes here only on 545s. I also think it looks great debadged!
What I also really like is that beautiful mosaic tile on the parking area under your car. I gotta get that for my new baby too! I wish I could grow a palm or 2 in my yard also.
The color combo is nice with blue exterior and beige interior.... Also love that rear armrest and fold down seat. I do too much work on my house to not have that opening to stuff things in from the stores on occasion.
Here in US, we only get the toolkit, and no first aid or triangle. Except for ED cars where they put them in while you drive in Europe, then you must remove them to take them home in a suitcase.

A very Beautiful car it is! Every time I see an Orient Blue it makes me happy to know I ordered that color too!
My car is US spec but since I live in Germany I am getting the triangle as well to keep! They are a must here.

Hi Tuga,
Nice ride! Do you feel that the Aluminium inserts clashes a little with the Titanium II trim on the door handles, steering wheel and gear stick?
My E60 has the Al inserts as well and I'm waiting for the Titanium II replacements to come in and replace them. They made an error with the initial order.

eggz,
Personally i don't like the Titanium II inserts.
I really think it's a bad feeling when you touch it (pure plastic).
I had it in a 320d and repaced it by aluminium inserts.
I had the aluminium too in a 316 Ti Compact (2001) and just loved it.
My advice to you is to really check up the titanium II inserts and compare it side by side with the aluminium inserts. Check it up before you change.
I drove a 530d with Titanium II inserts and feet like something was missing in the car.

hi tuga, congratulations on your gorgeous ride.
i love those aluminium inserts, but i dont think they are available in canada. thanks for the pics.
i really like the compartment in the rear center console, i think its a better alternative than the 2 power outlets which i've got.
i also really like your car port, very european and reminds me of a villa by the sea.
can you post a pic of the phone cradle with the SE T610 and the communications screen with the BT on display? thanks in advance. cheers!

Super Car! Great color combination. And I like the pictures you took. Perhaps you can snap a few of the engine compartment the next time you happen to be taking more.
Enjoy!
