Congrats! Looks great and very slick colour combo 
I see you went for the 520dA instead of another 523iM. When you ordered one of your previous 523i's I remember you thinking about these two models a lot, because back then I went for the 520d when you went for the 523i
Any particular reason for now switching over to the diesel?

F10 Jet Black (or Black II, as you call it) is the best color for the new F10 and
the interior with black sport seats and brushed aluminum trims looks awesome.
Your first (very nice) pics don't actually show the individual tinted windows and what's fine, nor electric fold-away tow hitch.
Did you get the Defa heater installed already? I lot of Fin F10's are still waiting for it.

Thanks guys!

Well, the main reason for diesel is fuel efficiency and economics.
It seemed like a no brainer when the 520d came up. It feels more powerful than my old 6 cyl petrol...and almost as smooth.

Not to worry, I'll be taking more pics soon
Regarding the DEFA heater - No, you're right, it is not available yet. They will put it in later on.

My Ride: Just gone-520d m sport- Jet Black- Dakota Leather black- AluCube interior,
On order- F10 520d SE-Titanium Silver
I'm amazed how much difference the shadow line trim makes- It gives the car a really sporty, almost MSport look. Great choice. Your pics have confused me again- had decided on titanium silver- Thx

Tip. Whatever colour you finally choose, make sure you get Ambient light.

Grattis! Otroligt snygg bil, som jag misstänkte...
It's nice how BMW have given the 520d all the 6-cyl exteriour features.
