Thanks for the compliments guys.

Merve - The sports suspension does have noticeably less lean in bends than my old car's standard suspension.

Stu - I personally love the alu trim against the beige but accept it could be an acquired taste ( I wanted to keep alu for sports look - wood would be too traditional ). I part x'd the old car. Car is a private purchase but as I am self employed I can put depreciation and running costs through books. Would like a 525d but budget could not stretch

BMW 530 - A year soon passes but I find that after 7/8 months the mind wanders to thoughts of next new car

Very nice. I Agree that black will be hard to keep clean in West Yorkshire, especially in winter.

I have black here in sunny (not at the moment tho) So CA because it keeps clean for the most part. Wouldn't have bought black myself if I still lived back in West Yorks (Huddersfield).

Very nice wheels

Nice car!..

Love the interior but when you get the alu cube trim I would have gone with a black interior.

When beige, the wood will give it such a warm look..

Enjoy the ride!
