Friday one week ago, I finally had my new and first beemer delivered.

I have been browsing this website before and after ordering my new 520d - 3 months ago.

e.g. : at the time I downloaded the car user manual so I could study it before the day of delivery.

An intresting website to say the least.

Wondering how a saphire black exterior with a black leather interior with black interior trim would look,
I searched the internet for pics, without success BUT I took the risk, placed my order
and it turned out FANTASTIC (for me anyway) !!!

For those who like pics of an E61...

Very nice choice : is that the new LCI dark poplar finish inside (erable anhtracite) ?
I'm desparate in finding out how the new 177hp compares with the previous - i.e. just like mine- 163 hp. If anyone has compared both, I would like your opinion back !

Have a nice ride !

This is the reduced 163hp (for tax purposes - 1250 ? instead of 2500 ?) but with 350Nm. Drives fantastic but I cannot compare for the moment.
Fist time I go to the dealer I hope they can easily change it back to 177hp.

The Black trim inside was no extra charge. It is black highgloss if you like. I don't know the englisch name.

Very nice car indeed. I am wondering how the car behaves at low revs, as mine only wakes up from 2500 rpm onwards.
