My Ride: My 1st was an '06 530xi, Titanium Silver w/ gray dakota leather, sport pkg. & Nav.
Now my 2nd is an '08 650i CP, Space Gray, Blk Dakota, Sprt. Auto, HUD, Sprt. Pkg., Prem. Sound, High Beam Ast. & Comfort Access
Very nice color combo, congrats. I did not know you could get any of the grey tones with the beige interior in the 5 series. The last brochure I had showed them as not available, although they were in the 3 & 6 series. I would like something like this when my lease is up in a couple of months.
Also, how do you like the new console shifter and paddles? Your car looks great!

Picked her up last Friday night. She was on a boat headed to port when I found her. Perfect colors and perfect options. I am a proud new papa!

Yup, very nice indeed, I really like the classy interior combo. Good choice!
Nice engine also, it's a shame we in Europe do not get the 535i.....well, guess I have to help myself this summer with a 335i Convertible.

I ponied up the extra $500 to get the sport auto tranny mostly because i just don't like the regular shift handle. The standard one looks odd, IMO, and it feels flimsy in the hand. This sport auto, while economically frivolous, is much more befitting the sporty nature of the car. Too early to tell on the paddles because the car is still inside it's break in period.
