Nice car, enjoy it. Gefeliciteerd namens een landgenoot.
One question w.r.t. the headlights: I see projection headlights on your photos and I do not see Xenon on your option list. Is it true that for the LCI model the halogen headlights now also have projection lenses unlike the old E60? I hope so as I have ordered my E60 w/o Xenon... Probably relatively easy to retrofit xenon now.
Good to see some pictures of the standard 16" wheels, I've been looking for them as my car will have those too. I like them actually, I don't think I'll go for bigger wheels. Unlike many people, I don't really like 19" or even bigger on such a car, I think an E60 looks best with 17" but that's very personal.
Thank you,
Tim

It looks like there are alternatives. Scroll down and you'll see a brown backrest w natural brown??
Or am I completely stupid here...?
Oh, but cool thing w the buttons

These are indeed the standard halogen H7 lamps. So it is possible that those lenses are most part equal to the xenon ones.
17"are coming in some time. I also fear to much downside on comfort with 18"or 19""s.
The E61 is on itself stiff enough on 16"

After 5000 km in my E61 520d with standard LCI headlamps I have to say I am slightly disappointed with the yield of these lamps. They are not very powerful. If I had to re-order my car, I would definitely choose xenon headlamps.
Im also thinking about these Philips bulbs:
