Had the car three weeks now but its the first chance I have had to wash it off so I have taken the opportunity to take some photo's
Love the car and it gets a lot of admiring glances.
Also, didn't go for Sat Nav but my Tom Tom sits really neatly next to the IDrive screen so I'm really pleased with that.
Hope you like it.

Titanium Silver. I thought it would be easy to keep clean. Trouble is they have just resurfaced the road in my village and I have had to spend a couple of hours removing tar spots :thumbsdown:

Thanks Madoon. Plan to give it a couple of coats of RejeX as soon as it stops raining.

Very nice. What other options did you go for?? Which tomtom model is that. Have you hardwired it?

It's a Tom Tom 300, and no I haven't hard wired it. I tend to use it on battery most of the time as the battery life is quite good.
To answer xBMWx, it doesn't move around at all as the surface in front of the Idrive screen is rubberised so it grips well. I've just driven over the peak district this afternoon on twisty B roads and it didn't budge. I am delighted with the discovery because I hate the look of the windscreen mount brackets etc.
Finally, my car is pretty standard. The only options I had were debadge (Not because it's only a 520 but because I think it just looks better and with my previous Audi's I found it was hard to clean round the badge properly) Bluetooth phone Prep, Isofix front seat airbag deactivation and sun protection glass(to save sticking kiddy blinds on the side windows.)
