Hello from not so sunny Sunderland, UK!
Had my 535d M Sport for a few months and was an upgrade from a tuned Focus ST - needed more space for kids and prams and all the associated bits that go with 2 kids
I'm mighty impressed with the BMW - seemed fast when I test drove it, but as it turned out (when I tried to get it remapped) it had already been done - and I still get good MPG's (compared with the greedy old ST)
So loving it at the moment and have just upgraded the steering wheel to an M5 unit with paddle shift - makes every journey seem a bit more interesting now !
Hope to catch up with any fellow members up in the North East soon !
Cheers

P.S. I have another M5 (post 05) steering wheel if anyones interested

Sounds like a beast!
Be sure to browse through the diesel threads to find the common problems / preventative measures (in case you haven't done so yet).
