My Ride: '06 535d M-Sport Individual Deep Green Metallic 19" Style 172 wheels Individual Champagne leather Media Pack Visibility pack Sunroof Privacy glass
Post

Hi!

Ive been a spectator on here for a few weeks and have finally bitten the bullet and bought an ex-demonstrator 535d M-Sport Individual.

Car is in dark green metallic with Individual Champagne leather inside. Also comes with 19" Style 172's, sunroof, rear spoiler, privacy glass, media and visibility packs.

To say I can wait until I take delivery on Wednesday would be the understatement of the year!

Car replaces my beloved Volvo S60 T5 (photos below) which was tuned to nearly 350 bhp. Sadly it was written off a few weeks back by an idiot coming in the opposite direction who failed to negotiate a left hand bend. I was lucky to escape from that in one piece which is more that can be said of the car

Anyway, no point dwelling on it. Onwards and upwards so they say

At least I can look forward to similar power levels once Mr DMS breathes his magic on the car and I'll hopefully save a bit on the old motion lotion as I was starting to tire of the Volvo's ?250/week Optimax appetite!

Roll on Wednesday!

Nice one... I almost bought a 535d Individual at the beginning of 2005, in Malachitgruen - ended up switching the order to the B5 in a moment of madness...

Which shade of green is yours, then?

I think the exterior is a standard colour "Deep Green metallic" although I must admit Ive never seen this colour on another E60 Sport yet. Dont know why, its absolutely stunning especially when set off against the 19" wheels and sun protection glass.
