My Ride: 530d Sport,6spd Manual, Carbon Black, Black Leather, Electric Seats, Visability Package.
Cool

Been driving my 530d sport for a week now and it is such a great car to drive. I did'nt think driving a diesel would be such fun. I must admit I do miss the growl of my 330i Sport. But I have now chosen diesel economy and I am so impressed. How many UK owners have chosen an Manual over Auto ?
Also anybody have experience in geting their iDrive software upgraded in the Surrey area.

I must admit the Carbon black was not what I expected, it is more of a navy blue than a black. My 330i was Black Sapphire which would have been a lot nicer but unfortunetly it was not available.

Here is a pic of the 2 together before I handed the 330i back to the leasing company.

I'm a year down the road from getting my E60, and I still giggle every time I drive...

By the way, what is the visibility package??

The way they have everything optional over in Europe, I wouldn't be surprised if the visibility package means you get a windshield and glass all around as well as headlights of some sort...
