now look!!! I am getting a bit concerned that there are too many SilverGrey E60 sports getting delivered in the UK...stop it...stop it now
Nice pics Andy, now i feel guilty as my car is "pitted" right now and needs a good clean inside and out. good thing about silver grey though is that it hides that dirt well.
enjoy the car!!
Especially exterior!

i know what you mean ... but you have to admit, it's the best colour for our weather.

Just wondering was it the light leather that made you choose the black maple wood....or the other way around. (I agree that alu cube would look a bit silly with light grey leather).

My Ride: Due in May 2005 - 535d sport, Silver Grey, Grey Dakota Leather, Maple Wood, Xenons, Adaptive Headlights, High Gloss Shadow Line, 6 CD Changer, M Rear Spoiler
In response to some of the questions asked.
Yes, it's a Nokia phone kit. I had it in the e46 and seemed to make sense to transfer to the 5. Its a fully hard wired kit and has cost me just over ?100 to have it moved. Budget for options was tight and I wanted leather and xenons so this seemed a good compromise. It also works very well, so I'm pleased.
The spoiler is factory fit. It is part of the sport kit, however they do charge extra for it, currebtly ?135.00 fully fitted.
Not sure on the situation re air flow slats in the front grill, perhaps someone else can help here?
Thanks again for all the kind posts. Will look forward to hearing from AlanM and Andy-535dA-Sport on thier first impressions.

[/quote]Gudge,
Choose gery leather as I prefer a lighter interior. Wasn't keen on the alu cube and imo the dark wood goes well with grey. Would love the black piano inserts, but don't know if it can be retro fitted. Anyone?
Also, with the dark head lining, the dark wood somehow brings the interior together, just my humble opinion of course!
