My Ride: 2007 530i, Sapphire Black with White trim. M-Sports package
Post

Hi,

Had a 520d for 4 weeks but hated the engine noise.
Have now moved up to a 530i and much, much happier. It is Sapphire Black with white trim and the M-Sports package
I am on the Central Coast about an hour north of Sydney.

I reckon this is definitely (off)white leather (uhmmmmm donuts ). The dash and door trims have metallic trim on them with a checker pattern and that would be a greyish colour but the leather (uhmmmmm donuts ) I would not say is grey in any shape or form

all the wheels have a style no., the m172`s are one of the two m style wheels available with the sport setup. The trim you have is called aluminium cube and im pretty sure there was no white option on normal or
sport models except the M5 which had Silverstone II (white basicly), i think the Australian BMW option list is the same as the Euro one, i could be wrong though, even though it looks off white i think its option name is
polar grey but anyway damn nice car look after her.
