My Ride: Cars:2011 - BMW F11 535i, Alpine White, Msport version2009 - MINI COOPER, Mellow Yellow2007 - BMW E61 LCI 530i, Space Gray, Msport version - SOLD2006 - MINI COOPER, Park Lane Version - SOLD2005 - BMW E61 525i, Titan Silver, Msport version - SOLD2003
Model Year: 2012
After about three weeks of waiting finaly I saw it.
E61 LCI 530i Touring, Spacegray, Msport version (Navigation Professional, Adaptive Light Control, Bi-Xenon, Cruise Control, Advanced Automatic Air Conditioning, Extended Lights Package, Graduated Windscreen, Servotronic Steering, ISOFIX, High Beam Assistant, PDC, Electrochrome + Fold in Outside Mirrors), Automatic Sport Gear, Leather Dakota Black, CD-Changer, Alarm, Roof Rails, Hi-Fi Speaker System, Tinted Rear Windows, Sunblinds for Rear Windows, Cup Holders, Bluetooth Telephone, Universal Remote Control, Emergency Spare Wheel.
Everything would be fine if the dealer would not have forgotten to order the Blue tooth and the Universal remote control. However he will install them immediately so the car should be ready for delivery within the end of the week.

Comparing to your E60 520i - we sure would like to hear some comments!
Also think about how the plates look on your car.

Comparing this car with the previous I must say that it is a lot of difference. Firs the LCI is much better finished than the previous. They took away some defects and everything looks much more pretty. Might also be for the new design of the doors.
Regarding the engine, I would say that the new 3l is very good, fast, with a lot of torque and much more economical than the old 2,5l. Consider that it has more than 50 bhp more than the previous and the petrol consumption is almost 20% lower, and I have just 2.000 km on the odometer.
I drove to long time the 525i so I do not exactly remember how was the 520i so it would be difficult to compare the two cars.
Regarding the license plate holder, I know is ugly and I will remove it as soon as I will scratch the front bumper and have to be re-painted.
