After taking it for a short spin I knew it..... I had to have this car!
So I bought it today
It's a 2006, Individual onyx blue with individual caramel leather and piano black wood.
I was shopping for a new M5 to replace the 535d but this one has it all and it lowers the waiting time to a week, and I can keep the E61 for when I go out with the mountain bikes

Some (mobile cam) pictures of the (dirty) car, I will take better ones when I get it home next week;

CONGRATS!!!

I'm assuming that's a standard screen in the headrest for a DVD system or something? (Not available in the US as far as I know)

Congrats. Beautiful color. Not to jinx you though, but I hope it isn't Ashok's old car from M5Board....

You can get the headrests installed at the dealership, the US dealers do that here, of course for an arm and both your legs.

And damn you oversea people for getting the option of getting Individuals, the states suck!

Thank you all for the nice comments!
I will take a lot more pictures of the car when I have it home, at the moment it's still at the dealer where they are installing a track-and-trace system and an Ipod connector.

@EuroCarFan;
It's not the OEM BMW entertainmentsystem but it's build-in very nice, the screens are connected to a 12 DVD changer and a digital tv tuner (DVB-T).

@bmwbonehead:
No, it's not Ashok's car .
His car was a 2005 with the old key and black alcantara headliner, this car has comfort access and a caramel alcantara headliner which looks stunning IMHO.
