My Ride: 2011 535i
I used to own an E60 530i but traded it for a E93 335i a year or two ago and never regretted my decision. My X5 lease was up so I decided to take a look at the F10. Needless to say, I fell in love with the 5 series all over again. Picked up my new F10 this morning. Specs are:
dark graphite/sophisto grey
cinnamon leather w/ dark wood trim
sport automatic transmission
premium package II
sport package
convenience package
split fold down rear seat
side/top view cameras (amazing feature)
I don't really regret not getting the dynamic handling package as it still goes around the bends like a small coupe. I'm a little confused because my car has the buttons for adjusting the chassis/tranny into normal/sport/sport+ but I don't have the option listed. I'm thinking it's part of the sport auto but I'm not sure.
It's a very refined car indeed.

If you had the ZDH package, Comfort would be an option in addition to Normal, Sport, Sport+. The button is added with the SAT option. All documented over at f10.5post.

That's a beautiful car and great color inside/out. Congratulations! Does the 535 sport comes in with staggered wheels? What are the sizes?

Congrats!.....Interesting color combo. Don't you just love the Dark Graphite? 
......it gives off almost a "chameleon-like" effect....depending on how the sunlight hits it, it can look black, gun-metal, grey, or even dark blue.
....gonna have to change your profile now to F10lover

Veeeery nice car there e60lover
Congratulations! Very nice color combo and good quality pics!
"I'm a little confused because my car has the buttons for adjusting the chassis/tranny into normal/sport/sport+ but I don't have the option listed. I'm thinking it's part of the sport auto but I'm not sure."
It comes with the sport auto, I have it too.
In your and my car the choises are the same as the sport choice in the gear leaver but the button also activates the stabilators in the chassis but not the suspension.
Try it, after you have broken in your car, you can feel the change.
Do I make any sense?
