My Ride: 535dAT //M
So, after very long waiting and reordering my baby is home. 
She was ordered in November, 
recalled from BMW Germany in January :'( due to damages during the storm "Gudrun" that hit Sweden jan-08-2005 and when she was parked during shipping in the harbour of Halmstad, reordered since BMW changed the different option packages. 
Finally she was delayed two weeks, 
but now she is home!! 
(sorry for the bad weather in the homecoming pics). I've lent the car to weeks prior delivery and then it was sunny on one pic.She is jet black and has beige interior light popplar wooden panels.
Shadow line, M-sport, Nav prof. hi-fi L7, seat heater front and rear. Airbag rear, Xenon, NO rails on the roof!! 135 style 18? //M wheels with puncture free tyres for the summer and 124 style 18? for the winter.
A funny thing was that my father picked up his new car the same day, Volvo V50 2,0Diesel also jet black touring. But he didn?t order that, but quit a coincident!

Don't say things like that....I was hoping it's to high?!?
That approx. the same consumption as on my prior 525i -02.
You out there that have the 535d, can one hope for a decrease in consumption after breaking in the bearings and other moving parts or is this what I get?
