My Ride: All on order and should be here by 28th September 2007
Just placed my order for a new LCI E60
BMW 525d M Sport
Space Grey Metallic Paint
Black Dakota Leather
Heated Seats
6 Disc Changer
Hifi Loudspeaker System
Visibility Pack
Load through system
Extended Lights Package Interior
Folding & Auto dimming door mirrors
I have spent a lot of time reading different posts and although I have hardly posted any myself i have found e60.net a great forum for information. So thank you one and all for your help.

Regarding the auto, I have always driven manual and as its a company car I will save a little with the company car tax and the slightly better fuel economy. I must admit though, the car I had my test drive in was an auto and I could not fault it. Maybe next time I will give my left leg a rest and tick the auto option.
The biggest choice for me was the colour combination. I would make a decision then see a different combo on this site and change my mind

Hi, i placed the order through a lease hire company as it is going to be a company car.

The car, colour combo and extras are all great choices but get the automatic transmission!

Wow, sounds just like my car on order.....which arrives in 10 days (or so)!
I've ordered a Space Grey 525d M Sport, Auto, Black Leather, Heated Seats, HiFi Speaker System, Bluetooth, USB/Ipod, and swapped the Aluminium Interior Trim for the High Gloss Black.
Can't wait, especially after giving in to my midlife crisis and selling the MK2 TT for something more practical.
I'll post some pics when it arrives if you'd like.

Must admit i really wanted the carbon black with natural brown interior, but I don't think I could keep the outside clean enough and my two small daughters would make a mess of the rear seat. :thumbsdown:
I would have also liked to get hold of the 172 19" rims but unfortunately my budget does not go that far.

I may buy a set at a later point from eBay and use them as summer wheels and swap back to the standard M Sports in Winter.

How long did you have to wait for your car?
The leasing company I am using is quoting middle to end of August for mine.

My original confirmed date was 13th July, so the car is arriving 3 weeks earlier than planned.
The leasing company my employer uses, ALD, are very good and even put me in direct contact with the supplying dealer for order confirmation, etc.
