after having received my new ride last wednesday, i've already done some 700 km and i am very satisfied with my choice. excellent comfort combined with powerful engine and sporty elements. i also think that the look and feel is excellent. despite many other opinions i got used to the i-drive within some minutes and also despite many other opinions i consider the logic 7 as very good (maybe because i am coming from a 330cd harman kardon set).

the consumption so far is 8,2 l/100km although the last 200 km i sometimes rev up to 3,5k in order to wake up the engine for later duties

i saved the sport button for >2000 km

Congrats for a great looking new car! That thing must be a beast. I'm going to stop by in Vienna next week with my LCI 525d... can you recommend any affordable hotels with an indoor parking lot?

Hi and welcome !
You?ve got the best diesel engine I think. Congrats !

535 was my first choice, but unfortunately you couldn?t compare the 535 engine with 4-wheel drive when I ordered mine
(A performance chip will be installed when the spring comes)

Have fun

this is the hotel we use from our work: http://www.parkinnvienna.at/

has it's own garage space (inside), and the tube station is about 5 stops away from teh city centre..

ps. of course good looking car - will look out for a 535d around vienna then
