My Ride: 09 535xi Space Grey, Black Dakota Leather, Poplar Trim: Premium Package MSport Package Tech Package Audiophile Sound Package
Default

Hello All,

I picked up my 09 535xi 2 weeks ago and and still loving the ride! Like many people here have said, once you drive a bimmer it ruins you for anything else I work at a domestic car dealership and find myself loathing those cars every-time I have to drive them....

Regardless, here are the specs on my new car:

2009 535xi Space Grey Metallic, Black Dakota Leather, Poplar trim, Premium Package, MSport Package (M Aero kit, 18's 135m, Anthracite headliner, M Steering wheel), Technology Package (HUD, Nav, Sat, US and the Audiophile Sound Package.

I think that some packages may be different than those in the U.S. (do you guys get the MSport package as a factory option yet?)

I've included a picture of my car however it was taken with an iphone in the snowy Canadian wintertime so it's not that good.

I just wanted to say hello to all in these forums!

Cheers!

Zeus
