+100

I keep the sunroof (the shade, not the glass) opened whenever I can. it totally transforms the feeling in the car, especially if you have light-coloured upholstery.

+1 on the runflats too, pretty annoying things :thumbsdown:

I thinks is semi-full option:

I live in the region of zuid-holland, it would be nice to have some addresses of good BMW specialists. I did some research and found several in my area, but I don't know if they are any good. So please feel free to tell me more about that (or email me; "barainoor apenstaart hotmail puntje com")

So checking the drains periodically would be enough to prevent water leaks in the interior. We have a lot of rain and with the issues posted over here that is why I got in doubt about this nice car with sunroof. Since I don't have the possibility to park my car "always" indoors, it should be waterproof. Could you explain a bit how to check if the drains are functioning well, where is the end of the drain located to see if the water flows?

The wheels shown in the picture are 19inch, which tires do you recommend anyway?

I'm currently driving a phase 1 model of the C5 (2002). So this would be a huge upgrade ;p

Hallo and welcome to the best forum in the internet.
First wish you lots of fun with the new car. big difference between a c5 and a 530.
what is the adress that you have for a BMW specialist?

Take care and let us know.
