My Ride: 545iSMGSilver GrayAuburn Dakota LeatherLogic 7 Premium SoundSports Package
Wait so the two front doors dont match now? Hahahaha they made the drivers door "more ergonomic" and added the hole so you can pull the door close but didnt do that to the passenger side? That just looks hokey!

Isn't it strange that the engines are warm (look at the rev counters), or is this feature discontinued for the LCI as for the E90? Can any LCI owner confirm?
No it doenst look discontinued... it looks like its there.. but the engine is off so you cant tell if its warm or not. Thats just how it looks when the car is off. I forget but I believe the V8s leave 3 dashes on the top and will never go away.

Did anyone notice that there now appears to be four controls around the headlight switch -- one for the dash lighting, one for HUD, one for front foglights, and could the other -- finally -- be for REAR fogs???? Or is it maybe the night vision button??
Also, the 550 sport does not appear to have a trunk lid spoiler as shown in the US product brochure (a good thing for me).

Pictures of 2008 5, 550 and 535. Both appear to be in Monaco blue. If link doesn't work, page 31 in gallery.

Awesome color (which is why I am getting it on my car).

Are you sure about the colour? IMO the 535i is Deep Sea Blue...
Thanks

Nice improvements overall However, I agree with EBMCS03...whassup with the door handle change on the drivers side? That't's just goofy! Also, the round door speakers don't look as integrated as the previous design that flows with the lines of the door panels, and the rear trunk panel looks like an add-on...not as fluid as the original design...but then that's what I think about the M5 trunk lid finisher as well (jmo). But overall the new car is greatly improved. I'd love to have the new exhaust set-up.
