Now had my 5 for a couple of weeks and have to say it was worth the wait.

I know I'm still running in but however absurd it seems i really enjoy driving slowing, Logic thumping, comfort seats like an armchair - get my pipe and slippers.

don't get me wrong, even though i can't yet go above 4500rpm i enjoy the hilariously outrageous acceleration but am just as happy with the silent hover-like progress of the car.

used the sat pro for the first time last night and enjoyed the mid-atlantic accent of the lady - she now has come to represent the character of the car, ie i bet she can be a bit saucy after a couple of drinks. talking of which boy does she drink! (can hear the 530d boys laughing) but boy when she drinks she doesn't half go, am averaging 21.6 mpg

only regret is not getting bi-zenons - anyone now how much a retro would be??

Know the feeling of driving slow. I just like to cruise around most of the time.

You may want to change your signiture though to update that you have the car.

Happy to know you are enjoying the ride.

Peace,
Kris
