Whats the sound system like? Hopefully picking my new one up this week, and I have chosen the same system, but havn't heard it yet. Are you impressed with it?

How much HP does the 530D have, and what do you expect your MPG's to be?

Congradulations on the car.......great colour combo it looks stunning.
I love the cream interior however i dont think i could order it myself as it looks like it would be very hard to keep in good order especially if you have little ones like i do.

on relaxed drives, and maybe 30mpg (8 litres/100km) with more spirited driving. But keeping the speedo needle near the 260 mark on the Autobahns quickly moves the fuel gauge, for sure

As far as I'm concerned, on all cars I owned, it was done every week...
I must keep the rhythm

For sure, the creambeige interior needs to be cleaned up on a regular basis in order to look nice.

Because it's the facelift, it has the 235hp engine as far as I know. I have the "old" 218hp one (early E60 530d built in 9/03) and I get about 36-38mpg (6,5 litres/100km) on relaxed drives, and maybe 30mpg (8 litres/100km) with more spirited driving. But keeping the speedo needle near the 260 mark on the Autobahns quickly moves the fuel gauge, for sure
