Merv - nice looking trim, looks warm.le me know how you get on, looks like i will be trackingyour car selection.. i have 530d and am considering either a 535d sport for delivery early 2006 or a 550 sport...depends if i put through my co. or buy privately. Interested to know how you get on and if you find the diesel noise harsher with twin turbo over single turbo.
Congrats

My Ride: E39 525d, orient blue with beige interior. Planing on getting an E60 535d next summer when my lease on my E39 is over :)
Congratulations Merv the Derv, on your new car. You are lucky to be cruising in a 535d!
I had a question concerning the hifi sound system, did you get to compare it to logic 7 before choosing? Is is worth the huge price difference with the 10 speaker system.
And please please a nice and long comparison with the 530d driving!
Thanks

I had the standard sound system before i.e. the cheapest one out of the three systems, std, HiFi and Logic 7. I know in the states for eg their std system is HiFi, don't know about your availability?
I paid an extra ?355 for HiFi and the added sound quality is ten fold.
I am more than happy with it and couldn't justify the extra for Logic 7.
Cheers
Merv.
Once I've done a few more miles I will post my opinion. See my AS topic - first thing I noticed was how much better non AS is.

[/quote]Congrats Merv on the purchase... looking fwd to external pics.
I have the Hi-Fi, and while i haven't heard the Logic 7 (extra 3 speakers) the Hi-Fi set up is quite something for a stock system.

Congratulations Merv,
Enjoy the ride! It is interesting to get direct comparisson pictures of light and dark poplar.
Harry: Light poplar heisst Pappel Maser hell auf Deutsch.

My Ride: GONE BUT NOT FOGOTTEN : 530d SE Auto : Titanium Grey / Anthracite Leather, Poplar Trim, 18in 123 Style Alloys, Adaptive Bi-Xenons, Business Nav, Hi-Fi Speaker Package, Heated seats, Split-Fold Rear Seats
LR DISCO 3 HSE with everything (including 3 kids)
Mark - Nice car !!!! Certainly worth the wait
Do you mind me asking what your cost to change was ? (pm me if you'd rather keep this private)
I agree about the light trim this looks very swish - IMO this looks better that the standard sport "cube" trim.
