And did try also the automatic trunk open & close, very nice functionality.
18" wheels looked also very nice.
Can't wait to get the actual price list with accessories.
Btw. You did not read that sign in the door when you entered to the VIP area: "Valokuvaus kielletty", Photographing prohibited.

I was too obeying and didn't take any pictures because they had forbidden that. 
Looks like quite many Finnish forum members went there.
Anyway, my idea about F10 changed completely when I saw it in real life, now I like how it looks.

Was the demo car actually with sport suspension ?
It looked so cool with 18" rims.
I forgot to ask that from the sales person.
Actually I'm quite surprised that how many finnish members in generally are in this forum and also were there based on this thread posts.
PS. There is also finnish discussion thread about F10 in btcf.fi forum.

My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
Yes, I will as soon as the brat from BMW will call me.
He really was a car salesman with not a long future in the business.
My ordinary "BMW-man" got his pension as the year changed.
One correction from my side.
The wheels on the Space Grey 5er in BMW Magazine special has Style 331 19" wheels (F 8,5 and R 9,0),
with F 245/40 and R 275/35 tires.
Please note the tires size change from the E60!
Not 20" as the BMW brat told me.
One should always check the info

Yes, in real life it's even better than in the pictures.

As I read the BMW Magazine special, I got the impression that Dynamic Damping Control
is a standard equipment on the F10, but 100% sure I'm not.
That would mean that "sport suspension" is included in the settings that are:
Comfort, Normal, Sport and Sport+.
This is actually the best E60 forum and hopefully also for the F10.
I'm also a member in the btcf, but there are too many Finnish brats...
As we see, don't believe in everything you read.
So, that's the reason it was so hard to get nice pics

Hi TurboT,

DDC is an option with all engines. It comes only together with all other adaptive drive features if the engine is 535i/550i or 525d/530d. When 520d/523i/528i it comes alone and the other adaptive drive features are not available. There is still a separate M-Sport suspension, price in Germany 420 ? which is 10 mm lower and has all the familiar M-Sport suspension features like E60. DDC/Adaptive drive is not available together with M-Sport suspension. DDC affects in shock absorbers only the springs and stabis are standard.
I have been struggling quite a lot with the suspension and decided to keep safe and take M-Sport suspension. The other adaptive drive features come together with sport automatic transmission, so the DDC and Dynamic Drive remain the only difference. I tested the F07 530d wirh DDC/adaptive drive and normal/comfort were both far too soft for me.
My 535iA will be quite loaded, Leather Dakota Comfort seats, HiFi professional, Navi professional, Glassroof, Adaptive Xenons, Integral active steering, Folding rear seats, PDC, Speed limit info, 18" V-spoke 328, Anthracite headliner etc. All camera systems will be left out though, I don't think I would use them in everyday use.
The car will be out of factory in Dingolfing during week 10, so I still have some 2-3 weeks to make changes. One issue remaining is the still the color. To be honest, I don't like any of the colors too much. Sapphire black is quite safe choice, but not too exciting...
Best regards,
TGII
