I hope I have done the right thing!
I am moving from my much-loved 535d to an F10 525d.
I am expecting delivery in April. I have ordered Sport Automatic in Space Grey with Black Dakota leather interior, Sat Nav Pro and 328 18" wheels. I am looking forward to the 8 speed gearbox with paddles, but hoping that I don't miss the power of the 535d E60 too much!

Congrats. Why didn't you go with the 535d again as opposed to a less powerful model?
And with the options I have the car is still ?40k. The 530d was extremely tempting, but ?4k for exactly the same engine and car, but an extra 40hp, seemed excessive.
The M Sport is also not available for quite a while.

The 535d is not available, possibly for a year...
