Took delivery of a 530XiT, white/beige, Premium pkg, auto trans, PDC today for my wife. I'm very excited about this yet my friends can't believe we got a wagon rather than the "default" SUV. The look at you different when you do something different, that's for sure. Here are some (bad) pics.

Love tourings (I'm an E46xit driver). While Alpine White isn't my 1st choice, it still looks sharp.

Say, would you mind snapping a pic of the rear load bay with the buggaboo stroller in it? I'd like an idea of how it fits / how much space is left.

Great choice. I have chosen silver gray but white is not so common in Europe.
Could please post some more pictures?

Congrats for the new ride and the bugaboo stroller. It fits perfect in the trunk.
I know how you can feel as I've gotten mine three weeks ago. Another titan silver car as alpine white in Europe is not that much on fashion for big cars.
Waiting to see more photos.

It is raining here in Florida all day, but I plan on snapping some pics outdoors soon. Haven't put the Bugaboo in yet--good eye to whoever spotted that, but I'll try to capture that. As far as the choice of white, that was my wife's doing, but after maintaining a black car that looked perfect after 108,000 miles, I was ready for a drastic change. I am getting used to the white as well, and personally would have gone for silver grey, but overall, the white/beige looks good.

Thanks to all for the comments!!

Oh yeah, MP3 CD works perfectly, except for having to eject and reload the disk every now and then. (standard audio, no nav).

It is difficult not to notice the stroller after I have pushed and fitted one into the car for the last 10 months.
