Hi guys,

thanks for your warm welcome

I did not order the panoramic glas roof because I wont use it. And I read to many bad reviews about it (leakiness). The only option I hardly considered to order is the sports automatic transmission. Most of my 75000 kms per year I?m on the autobahn / motorway. It takes only one minute to shift into the sixth gear and it remains in the sixth gear for many kms (sometimes up to 400 kms). But I have to say, that the BMW automatic transmission is the best I ever tested.

My actual 530d has almost the same configuration as my new ordered one.
The only difference: Now: paintwork uni black instead of light grey metallic paintwork, shadow line high gloss, Navi Professional instead of Navi Business, no active seats, no fine-wood trim, black anthracite headliner, no cd changer, active seat ventilation.
I set myself a price limit which I didn?t like to exceed and tried to configure a 530d with all the options that seem important for me. And therefore I prefered the 530d without automatic transmission instead of a 525d with automatic transmission.

Of course I?ll post some pics of my new one!

Michael
