Wow, that's one powerful HUD system you have -- it beams all the way to your bin!
Congrats on the new ride. Looks great and its probably the easiest to clean colour combo you can get
Enjoy...

Russ , the car looks awesome. It took me a few seconds to realize your stearing wheel is on the other side. I have the same seats which I believe changed a little with the September batch. What is the lever under your parking spot for? Will that damage anything under your car?

Russ - good for you...it finally arrived!! Looks awesome - enjoy and...what's that device in the drivway under the rear of your new car? I bet you are going through all the nav, entertainment, and other option systems.
This is my 3rd E60 so I know most of the toys already, and my wife has the new X5 which has all the new toys
So the learning curve didn't take long at all! Still, it's an awesome car, and am SO glad I got it. There isn't a single thing I'm unhappy with, which was never the case in the previous ones (which didn't have enough gadgets). I spent a year wishing I'd got the inbuild satnav, the better stereo, the ... etc etc. Love it !!

damn that is a nice color.. I love how uk is nice and gloomy outside.. I love that weather. i have family in wolverhampton...
Nice choice man.. Hey you should order that spoiler im getting. It really makes the rear end look alot better. I think the trunk is plain without. Not the lip spoiler... the other one
Why dont we get those cool aftermarket speakers? i ordered the logik 7 soundsystem, but i forgot to look at the speakers again ! .. im picking it up on tuesday ...

Engine: 545i
Beautiful Russ, I love it ! 
Is the shifter different on paddle shift versions ? I thought the shifter (centre console) on the LCI had a "twist" on it, this seems straight and small "sportier" > what's the story on this ?

They aren't aftermarket speakers ... that is the BMW Individual Audio System - in the UK you can get Logic 7 for ?875, the Individual Audio is ?1,435. And it's superb - worth every penny!
