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

Did I miss it... do you have the Winter package? Heated seats & steering wheel? Congrats on the new car!
I think that the cold weather package is standard on these Canadian Cars.... (either that or it is included in the Cdn Premium Package)
Needless to say, yes, I do have the heated seats (Front and Rear) and the heated steering wheel. Couldn't get by without it!
The only options I did not get on this car were the ventilated seats and the 6 disc cd changer...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! This is (was) my dream car and it's nice to be around people who understand how great these cars are!
Now, is it just me or does it look just as good from the back?

I love the color too... all of my previous rides have been either black or white but I'm glad I made the change with Space Grey.Zeus
