My Ride: 535D M-sport saloon

Hi folks,

I'm the proud new owner of a 535D M-sport saloon, '06 plate in carbon black. The car is already nicknamed "Vader" due to the black paint, tinted rear windows and generally sinister Darth-like appearance.

I've been trying to make my mind up about taking the plunge for 9 months and when I finally got the cash together, was lucky enough to find one locally very quickly.

Really enjoying the amazing engine response, struggling with iDrive but getting better and am very happy.

Looking forward to learning loads of stuff from you gurus!

Post some pix! 535d is a real torque monster. Your car must pull like crazy off the line.
