Just taken delivery of my 2008 177bhp 520d M Sport in Deep Sea blue with natural brown leather.

Car is amazing, done 3200 miles in 3 weeks and she really flies.

Very impressed, can't beat 43mpg either!

Consider the 123d .. 205 HP remappable .
So 230-240 HP with the same mileage of the 120d .

Hey - exact same colour combo as my 520D M Sport! Although I have the 163BHP diesel..... what are you doing to drop the MPG figures so low - I get an average of 48MPG without trying

Enjoy - it's a head turner. Have you installed wood trim or kept the aluminium?
