After a month of driving around like a man possessed, lots of 
, some 
, and plenty of 
, I have managed to drag myself away from the driver's seat long enough to upload some photos of my 520d M-Sport in Carbon Black with M135s...
(Interior shots will follow, but after just putting 7000KMs on the car, the inside is need of a serious clean before a photo session - sorry!)
Delivery day...
Delivery day, together with the predecessor...
Some photos taken after travelling from Wiesbaden-Germany to the south coast of England.
Picked up a lot of bugs on the way, and unfortunately also a minor speeding ticket in Belgium - bugger!
I am planning to change the grill for the full chrome version, simply because IMHO the standard matt black finish doesn't look right with the Carbon Black metalic. If a tasteful chrome tailpipe for the 520d were to come on the market, I would consider fitting that.
Other than those changes, it's just a matter of deciding what winter wheels to go for. They will be 18" rims, that's for certain. Currently looking at the 123s or 124s. If anyone has any advice/experiences/opinions with regards to 18" winter wheels, I'd appreciate some feedback.
Hope you like the photos - I know I do!!
Cheers
