Thank you everyone about the warm welcome.

Weather in Finland is indeed getting colder and day shorter but there is still quite much time before the snow will arrive. My car selection proceeds as planned and the choice will be E60 indeed.

Well, I have placed my order. This will be replacement for my current leased company car so the actual delivery will take place in January. Now I just have to wait.

The final choice is 520dA Business, where Business package in Finland includes following:
- Automatic A/C with extended features
- Radial Spoke 244 rims
- Cruise control with break function
- Xenon lights
- PDC
- Runflats

In addition to that I opted to:
- Fusion Artificial Leather
- Sport steering wheel
- Hi-Fi loudspeaker system
- Cup holders
- Heated ext. mirrors - folding, auto dimming (in Finland they are by default just electric and heated, not folding or auto dimming)
- Adaptive headlights
- High-beam assistant
- Sunblinds for side and rear windows
- USB interface
- Extended interior lights package
- Soft-close doors
- Windscreen with green shade band
- Electronic front seats, driver memory
- Smoker package (I don't smoke but I wanted the 12V output to be moved from the passenger side to the central console)
- Floor mats, velour (and you have to pay extra even for these in Finland)

Alpine white and beige interior (with light poplar wood trim).

After my order, they raised half of my options a little bit in Finland so I managed to get the order in just in the last days with the old prices.

I am planning on taking the first pictures already in the store when they will deliver the car to me (one of the reasons being that in January the weather might be really bad in Finland so white car doesn't stay clean long). But that is in January so now I just have to try to survive until then. Honestly, I have never been so excited about any other car this much.

Congrats, Mikka, many of us have been there and done that.

I like your choice of color, it will blend well with your January weather.
