My Ride: 530D , Msport, Deep Sea Blue , Cream Beige Dakota , Due April 2007.
Well gents thanks for the kind welcome , indeed i'll be smiling sure i'm smiling at the mere prospect of the car arriving , trying to decide who to show it off to first , regards spec: (read it and weep)
530 D 231 bhp (LCI version due for delivery / release 1st week of April ) Dealer assure's me delivery first 2 weeks of April.
Deep sea blue (new colour to replace Mystic Blue apparently)
Dakota Leather with wood trim
420 watt pro logic i fi with CD changer and the new USB jack .
rear blinds for the smurfs
Auto Transmission (of course)
Full M-pack body styling
Swaped the 530 badge for the M decall , hope that's not crass !
For some of the guys in the US and parts of Europe its probably basic but here's some of the options i didnt go for because of cost , but still managed to spend ?85,000 , a lot of this about 45% is tax in one form or another , they sure know how to stick it to ya !
Media Pack ?5,000 + couldnt do it
Comfort Seat ?6,000 + i'm not a big guy i'll manage !!
But the best part my current ride is a year old Auto Passat (new model) , so when the "5" commeth ill get twice the power , twice the cc's , twice the horses and thrice the price OUCH !! Cant Wait !

Interestingly you don't mention the colour of your leather.
As for comfort seats.... shame. Active steering and adaptive headlights also transform the driving experience.
We all have to make choices.

Got a bit carried away with the options - I love my toys ! (except on the Lotus which has wind up windows, as weight matters!)

Yeah. It's a hard decision. Buy a few options, or buy the wife a new car!
