Back home again after 1600km in Germany. Excellent car, very stable in the wet. The grip from standstill is just unbelievable! 8.3L/100km in total on the trip. Top speed tested just before leaving Germany ( yes I could not wait until 2000km as the book says! ), 248 km/h ( that?s 237 km/h on my GPS ).
A very solid, comfortable and entertaining car to drive.............but where is the damn SNOW????
No pictures today, car is at the dealer again for ipod interface and heater installation. Will pick it up on wednesday again. Have to drive the old M5 for a couple of days again...............

It sounds just awsome!!
You did the right thing with the long trip on the first 2000 km's.. That's a good way of breake in the engine, let it run with differents speeds and a warm engine all the time!
It must be a pain to choose between an M5 and a 330xdAT
How is the ACC ?

But I?m not really sure if it was a right decision to order it?
It works OK, but not more IMO. Driving on the autobahn and catching up on a car, ACC breaks way too early IMO. You really have to be quick and " point " the car to the left, very early/far away, if you want a smooth ride. At slower speeds it works better.
When stationary ( in my 330 ), and in the rain, there is a pulse in the brake pedal every time the wipers sweep!!!????
