My Ride: Just gone-520d m sport- Jet Black- Dakota Leather black- AluCube interior, On order- F10 520d SE-Titanium Silver
Default

Took the plunge today and placed an order for a 520d SE-

Titanium Silver
High gloss shadowline ext. trim
Star spoke 328 18'' alloys
Oyster/black dakota leather
Sport auto transmission
Sun protection glass
Service pack

Got a 4% discount off configurator price- no trade in as I sold my e60 last month.

I've thought long and hard about this spec. taking cost/value and my own preferences into account.

I welcome any critiscism of this spec. as I have a week to finalise order.

Not sure what ZDH is but regardless cash constraints prohibit any further options. As it stands the car will cost equivalent $63k. I've spent 4.5 yrs with an e60 Msport on runflats so i've experienced the virtues of stiffer suspension. To be honest I now have a young family and am looking forward to a more comfortable ride.

To me, a BMW is not the same without Sport Suspension. I have a family too and it's still a must.
