Very nice car, congratulations.

It's good that you get rid of the ugly clear stop lights and wheels.

Lovely ....

Just waiting for mine to arrive.

Test drove a 335i with those 19" wheels and was surprised how good they were - I was expecting to rattle my teeth out, and while definitely firm they are not uncomfortable at all. Nice and direct.

Still not convinced on the styling. It's just.........ummmmmmm........uninspiring.

I'll be sticking with my 535d for a long time yet. A coupe just isn't practical for me anyway.

Congratulations on the new car though. Let us know how it compares to the 535d. I'm sure the 3.0 litre Biturbo power in a car lighter than the 5 will be awesome.

I wonder what Mr. DMS will come up with from that powerplant!

you will love it.

Had the 535d on test for 3 days before i chose and this was so much faster and lighter and really does stick to the road.

Ive had 2 5 series E60's now and i just thought they started to look a bit dated. So this was perfect for me.

its fine. i have a 18 month old child and his seat slots into the isofix nicely as well with room to spare.

its not as spacious as the 5 but not a massive difference. They have used the space well and the boot is a good size too!
