Just some few cool stuff I noticed between MY2007 to MY2010..
1. The idrive screen can now be turned off completely. Very helpful during long night time drives to ease the eyes.
My old idrive could turn off but it still had background lights that kinda defeated the purpose.
2. Navigation is now voice commandable. All I do now is push the VC button and say the address in a normal speed and the idrive computer detects every word. Impressive! Voice command has gotten much better. I can also push the VC button and say Navigation >address book >friends name and routing starts.
3. Music don't keep playing when the car shuts off, so when I shut off my car and a certain part of the song and return later, it resumes same place.
I'll add more as I find them

Awesome looking new ride. My 2007 530i expires in 3 months and looking for my replacement. How do you think the color will be to maintain? Do you think there will be similiar issues as black as far as showing scratches etc? What are your thoughts from going non sport package to the sport package? I am seriously considering the M Sport on mine.
Great Ride enjoy

So I got the Deep Sea Blue due to the uniqueness of the color and how beautiful it looked in person.. Here where I live, 90% of all 5 series here are either black, silver or grey. I've seen very few blues. As far as maintaining.. I don't know yet, but I suspect that it will be very similar to the metallic black I had previously. The color however is a tad lighter so it doesn't show as much dirt as it did on my all black car.
When I first got my 2007 525i without sports suspension I was under the impression that ALL BMWs handled great! So I didn't throw more cash in, thinking a non sport should be fine. I was wrong.
The non sport may handle slightly better than other average cars ( camry, buick, impala, etc. ), but its no where as good as I wanted it to be.
After driving this car with the sports Package, I feel more complete that I got the perfect car.

In all honesty, I was planning on getting a light silver or dark grey color for my next car because it does hide light scratches and dirt better, but my common sense was dominated by what I wanted to have!

I just added 7gigs of MP3 music into my hard drive and the memory shows 63% free in the idrive
Although I have the free ipod adaptor that came included with the value package, I don't think I will be using it lol.

Not sure about your last question, but if your asking how long it took to order and delivery of the car the answer is typically 6 to 8 weeks.
