My Ride: 2010 535 xi - M Sport Pkg & other goodies
Default

Yes, took a lot of hunting to find it, and here she is in all her glory! I was searching for almost 6 months, believe it or not, and I lucked out and came across one with low miles AND the M Sport Package, which is super rare here. I'd bet I'm one of only a dozen across the whole country!

She's a 2010 (July 2009 build), Carbon Black with Natural Brown leather (and what a hilarity that her brother is Sapphire Black with the same leather!), M Sport Package, Premium and Value pkgs, NAV, Comfort Access and Lane Departure Warning (the main ones).

The one option missing, which is beyond me why they'd skip and get the LDW instead, is the Parking Distance one. Significant other definitely needs one...

Matte black grills are on their way... and tints for the rear doors and cargo area when I get around to it. And for the reflector on the bumper, probably a tinted one to get rid of the orange.

Here's a pic of her I took (along with a few from the listing) and with her brother.

Thanks. Your ride looks great, makes we want to take off my front plate too, but the cops here are really picky...

There's something very satisfying about driving a super unique sleeper car.

how is everyone able to get the rear bumper for an lci e61 and I can't!! grrr. so many people on this board talk about it, but in reality no one actually ends up getting it, and i still haven't found a way to get this done.
