Absolutely stunning car you got yourself there!
CONGRATS!
By the way, your set-up is very close to what I would go after if I was buying the LCI now: most probably touring, silver, 520d + automatic shift. Personally: the Perfect combination!
Awesome car, honestly!
And your 20's - WOW, they look like they were born together with this car. Fantastic!
And regarding the new auto-shift: could you please share with us what mileage do you get so far (average, city, motorway) on auto+177hp diesel?
It's very interesting for me as I am wondering how it works with the auto-gear compared to my manual?
And also (if you know) any improvements compared to the pre-LCI auto box? (response time / feeling / power handling)

Thanks guys.. I just love the wheels and the setup.. 
Thanks.. 
The car has gone 4000km, most of them in the city i think, but many of them average and motorway. I don't know how the manual transmission work with this engine, but the new gearbox is fantastic. It's much quicker and make the gearshift very well. I tried an 2007 520dAT Limited Edition LCI (150hp engine) before i ordered my car and i think the new gearbox is much better than the old. The response time is quicker and i feel it have more power at the motorway then the old one. And its not use fuel. I drive at the motorway (90-120km/h) and use a place between 0,50 and 0,55 l/mileage. Hope this will help you little, and please ask again if something missing..
