Hi there,

Congrats on your new ride. Beautiful.

Is it a 530d?
Unbelievable that BMW is still selling diesel cars without DPF. :thumbsdown:

Thanks! yeah, I have one:

Attachment 73170

I have asked dealer to change ALU-trims to wooden . To my opinion, metal inserts are more suitable for any LANCER EVO or IMPREZA WRX ... Genuine panda furs onto sport seats

very useful when -25 outside... you know how it is

Does the panda furs come as OEM accessories in Russia?

Dealers haven't included it to accesories list yet. I've found these black furs in Shanghai - at last December. As they mentioned in the advert - THE BEST AUSTRALIAN LAMBSKIN

HAving in mind the place, where I bought it, I may consider it as PANDA fur - looks very similar.... should add small white pieces to match a little bit more ...

DPF is Diesel Particle Filter, that's why the tips of the rear exhaust are turned to the ground and not straight.

thanks! actually, I thought same, when tried to understand, how did you know about lack of filter. The reason of its' absence is simple - our dealers consider local diesel fuel as low-quality, which may damage partikelfilter itself very quick, so, they remove it on the factory.

Besides of all, our f*** government still cannot accept even EURO3 pollution standard(we use EURO 2 only), so all car-makers use this point , coz it allows to make cars cheaper a little bit...

I think you're the first with panda fur here in the forum

Its always great to learn stuff about different countries; I assumed your car was one of the early non-DPF models from a few years back with the tailpipes pointing down , but its a brand new Russia spec car!

Enjoy...
