No J. I would have taken the sport paddles however if current option. The feel of it is odd, just need to get used to it. I know response will improve...just a tactile thing.

The nyas lights made the CB look very "blue", brought out all the metallic. To some good, to some bad. I didn't like what the lights did for the color "nothing" MO. I am very happy with it in "real" conditions.

Best
Got it and ja, you are right re the lighting.

Maybe I could stop by and see it in real life conditions. I still think this is my preferred color but I haven't seen it outside of the Javits Center.

Hard to say about suspension without really driving the car hard. Had a 2004 530 sport before this and the ride is not more or less stiff, just better. Only desciption I have for right now, as I drive it more I will try to be more detailed. The exhaust is more sporty, "throatier" and more audible. Love the comfort seats.

Hello all,

Picked up a short while ago. First pictures, sorry if poor quality. Overall, I love the car. After 10 miles I think I hate the auto shifter. Carbon black, in person, in sunlight, is fantastic. IMO more black then blue, as I said before the NY auto show did nothing for the color. Anyway, going for a ride...

Best to all.

Hey m630,

If you could turn up the clock, would the new 550 sport be your pic?
