Hello ,
I am new to this forum.
I ordered my first BMW , it's a E61 530d touring with the 231HP/520Nm engine but downtuned to 211Pk due to the taxes here in Belgium
My options are :
Business Line which includes :
Metallic
Leather Seats Dakota in black leather
Rails - I cancelled the rails
Soft carpets front and back
Navigation business
M sport package which includes :
M steering wheel
Sport suspension
M kit
135M 18" wheels
M logo on doorstep
M foot pedal
Shadow Line
Alu cube pure interior
Sport Seats
I also took :
Navigation Professional
Heated Frontseats
Logic 7 Soundsystem
Airconditioning with left right and special options
Automatic Mirror on the inside
PDC
Xenon with cleaning under high pressure
The color is SilberGrau with black interior and alu cube pure
I will have my car in about a month, Normally the week of the 17th october.
Can't wait to pick him up.

I driven it very shortly, maybe 10 min. and it was an automatic gearbox.
Does it feel as an powerfull car ?

Hello,
I didn't took the roof rails though they are included.
Is that a good choice or do you people think it will be strange or ugly?

But personally I never would buy a station wagon without the roof rails, just for the looks. I've ordered them without hesitation.

Congrats on the ordered car.
My Dad (who lives in Belgium by the way) has an X5 without the roofrails.. Personally I think it looks a bit cheap without the roofrails. Everytime I look at the car something seems to be missing..

Carbon Black
Dark Green
Titanium Silver
Silver Gray
Alpine White
Jet Black

I have ordered Siver gray But I Also like Carbon Black or Mystic Blue
GREETINGS

Hi Fre530d,
Welcome to this great forum.
A 530dT is a great choise, all that torque!
I would go for the Active Steering, I heard nothing but good about it!
The choice of colour is really hard, I know. Would you go for looks or practicallity?
Well, the allday practical choise is clear: Titanium Silver and black interior.
Your car will look clean even if you don't wash it.
A black car looks really good when clean. The problem is here, that it never is.
White is a really personal colour, you like it or not.
A compromise could be the Titanium Grey II.
Good luck with your choice
