Wish they'd do the same in the online configurator at bmw.co.uk

Which engine are you going for with 223?

hi carl_d, it's 535i. The sole exclusive authorised distributor here says 223 is available for it and I've given them a cheque for it.

Good stuff Have you seen the preview units at PML - 523 base, 523 Highline and 535? Car looks gorgeous! The sport leather steering wheel is so much better than the standard wheel, both in shape (thicker and with thumb contours) and feel (better quality (Nappa?) leather).

After many questions asked and payment made, the sole exclusive distributor in Singapore now says that, as in all the countries, option 223 is not available for the 535i. They made a mistake and will correct their options list. It will need to be option 2VA.

I am considering the M sport suspension, but am concerned with the remarks from certain reviews, and taking from AutoExpress testing a standard suspension F10, "On bumpy UK roads and fitted with larger, optional, 18-inch wheels, the suspension fidgets over rough surfaces more than cars boasting the variable damper technology, but the ride is still accomplished. It is smoother than the Audi and, while the air-sprung E-Class is well cushioned on the motorway, the trade-off in terms of body control makes the BMW the best compromise of the trio", "Aside from some judder through the firm walls of the BMW’s run-flat tyres, the 5-Series’ ride is impressively comfortable, too" and "Without its additional Adaptive Drive goodies, the 5-Series lacks that sparkling balance between ride and handling. However, it still manages to set the dynamic benchmark in this competitive sector." The M sport suspension likely will enhance the judders (?) Last edited by bm323; 04-29-2010 at 04:43 AM.. |

I also picked up Auto Express comments, and it doesn't help my case, as I've experienced the feelings as well. I know we will have to accept a set of compromises, whatever we choose, but I'm after the 'best set of compromises' for my driving. Car Enthusiast wrote: Quote:
