After a wait that was shorter than anticipated, IT arrived today,
525 diesel (should have gone for the 530 but hey, all the options take a toll on your wallet...) with the M-package, sunroof, electrical rear screen roller, adaptive Xenon, HiFi Professional (Harman Kardon), automatic air con. and some minor others.
I paid 210 euros for downgrading to the anthracite trim. The pictures maybe don't capture it, but it looks nice with the anthracite roof.

To safe space, I decreased the pictures to 800 res., original they are in 1504x1000.

A car like that would cost over 100k USD in Iceland ...
Cars with a larger engine than 2 litres have a 45% additional tax to them, and on top of that 24,5% VAT is added to the whole lot.
Fortunatly, I live in Luxembourg where there is just 15% VAT..

Looks great!!!

Can we get some more exterior pics. I'm especially interested in the M Sport Pak and the exterior changes that go with it. How about a shot of rear three-quarters?
