My Ride: 2008 E61 520dA Alpine White
Hi members!
I did pick up my new touring tonight. Dealer was few hours travel away, so I really got a touch to my new drive on the way back. My first impression is very positive. Actually I think I love it!
After all I never had a change to drive it before ordering. The weather changed few times on the way and I had real test drive on windy, icy, snowy, rainy and allmost every possible conditions. The engine seems to be powerful enough for me at least, but it doesn't response as quickly as my ex 530dA did. All the new electronic improvements are great and auto boot lid is Super! Only problems I have is with BT phone to synchronise the phone book with my nokia. Can any of you help me with this?
Here two first pics, taken before the first km. I will send some more, better pics during the weekend.
Ready to go home

Your ride looks fantastic -- white E61 m-sport with tinted windows
As for the blue-tooth connection to your nokia, I can only direct you to the Bluetooth & Cell Phone section of the Forum. (I have a Motorola and it works just fine.)

Sweet Ride - enjoy!
I really like Alpine White on BMWs - seems to suit most models, and there's something of a renaissance for this colour in the UK right now.
White is the new black, it seems.......

Bought it from Laakkonen Herttoniemi? That's where I got mine 
That would have been the closest dealer, but as the price difference was close to 5000eur (5k?! 
) it was more than fine for me to drive a bit further away.
