Do you clean it with the BMW stuff? Or you use something else? Because I used the BMW leather cleaner on white leather in my dad's 320ci and it worked pretty well.
I always finish with BMW products.

I do like the new door trim, it looks real innovative and a step up from previous yr models.
I like the buttons on the higher position ( 2004+ model car), but now they took it down, Id like
hear from the owner who has had both, to see what they think.
Old habits die hard, so interested to hear on your view.
Enjoy the girl in blue, Im sure the interior will be kept in much good condition.
Id get a little tired of the rims cleaning, the brake dust every week does keep be busy,
so possibly a little frustrating on those rims, But then when its finished Im sure it looks great.
Also the shifter and the reshaping of buttons across the dash, what are your thoughts.
Did they improve the storage bins.

I like that shift knob. Wish I had one in my car. Is it illuminated/back lit? Maybe I'll have to order one.
Great car. Enjoy.

Concerning the storage bins, nothing changed, except the door bin which has been divided in 2 (2/3 Aft - 1/3 Fwd)

Correct (235 Hp).
I think I'll maintain about these (MPG - L/100Km) values

Yes, I'm also convinced you'll keep to the low MPG figures... why else would you get an 530d manual m-sport
Congrats on the new ride -- looks awesome.
p.s. why bother with the night vision... planning on going down the local park at night to catch couples up to no good?

Officially, for my wife, it's to avoid to run over the cat (see avatar)

... Well in that case, because of what my cousin's darling cute little cat did to my paint work when it tried climbing on my car, I'm never ordering Night Vision!!!!
