Default Think I have found my car

Being the UK small and medium Diesel power is the norm, this is the one I have found and opened discussion on.
A late 09 car SE business Edition but with a load of extras as far as I can ascertain.

The first owner spec'd on top of the already good dakota leather, business nav, pdc front and rear and 7.5 x 17 with 225/50 x 17 tyres the following :-

anthracite leather, bamboo trim rear privacy glass style 245 17's wearing 245/45 x 17 Goodyears, OEM mats, three stage heated front seats, 6 x cd changer, Mud flaps all round chrome exhaust trim, xenon's and metallic paint.
The interior is truly lovely though the satin chrome gear knob looks slightly out of place and I am now hunting a truly comfy leather OEM design one.

Mod's will be quite limited as I adore the car just as it sits, though cree angel conversion, Osram Diadem front bulbs for turn signal additional mats in front for protection and the aforementioned gear knob.

The 2.0d N47 will get her to 60 in about 8.6 seconds and return about 60mpg, so can't have everything as Diesel and petrol are currently around $11.00 per gallon!

Due to commitments here I if I go forward i don't take possession until April 22nd as i will be in the USA having my first family break since 2007, what a lovely way to come home though,,,,,,

Nice ride. BMW has some interesting choices in their matching. The knob looks out of place but if you look at the inside door handles and the intsrument cluster rings it is "supposed" to go together. Just one of those "german" things i guess.

How did you get Navigation on the small iDrive screen? I thought it was only offered on the bigger screen??

We have three options for Nav, on them, Business (with my car and the narrower screen 2d display only) Professional and Top, both use widescreen with 3d mapping, operation and other features are as before though.

Perhaps I didn't word it well, the Nav has two options yes, but is supplied as part of the three hi-fi options, Logic 7 being the most elaborate, but yes correct the Nav has two only derivatives.
