I've created a gallery with pics of my new car http://forums.e60.net/index.php?act=module...album&album=238
It is a 320dSE in Titanium silver with lemon dakota leather, auto, aluminium trim, pro-nav, style 158 17" alloys, xenons, sports seats, sports steering wheel, sports suspension, privacy glass and a whole load of other stuff. I've put the chrome grilles on the front from the 325i/330i which makes a huge difference IMHO.
I have to say I am really enjoying driving this car which I'm going to have for the next 3 or 4 months. It feels taughter than my E60 530d did and is definately quieter. I'm seriously thinking about a 335d Sport as a possible next car after having this.

I love that interior ISUK 
Is that an Individual option?
I will be interested to hear how hard it is to keep clean.
Last post I saw from you was that you weren't very happy ... guess it has grown on you
I'm still debating on getting a 3 or possible 130i when I get rid of the 5.

JBOO,
The interior is one of the standard leather colours, Lemon dakota. It looks more like a cream/vanilla colour than the yellow that the name would suggest. It really looks stunning with the alumium trim.
I have to say that the E90 just feels a better car to me overall than my E60 in terms of quality of materials. I think the 335d Sport model is going to be fantastic and the E90 coupe should prove to be a stunning looking car when it is launched.

I'm interested in hearing more comparisons of driving dynamics between the E60 and E90. The E46 was a driver's car, but I'm worried BMW may have refined the E90 too much and lost some of it sensation as it did with the E90.
BTW, can't get enough of that interior.

Stopped by and looked at the 3 sereis again today. I'm really diggin' it !
Once thing I noticed on one of the car's with Navigation was that the Idrive controller was much different than on the E60.
Smaller, harder to turn, yet overall it felt not as solid or tight. maybe it ws broken or somthing.
Anyone else notice this?

JBOO,
I've had the opposite experience. The i-drive controller is smaller on the E90 to make it look better proportioned against the dash but it feels better quality than the one I had in my E60. Remember that the E90 is fitted with force feedback. If you are used to an E60 without nav or only business nav you won't be used to force feedback as this only comes on cars fitted with pro-nav. Perhaps this is what you meant by thinking it felt like it was broken?
