It arrives tomorrow!

After what seems like years of waiting, my new 520d M Sport arrives tomorrow. I'm Soooooo excited!

I have ordered it in Carbon black with Black Nappa. I went for the black upholstery because I was concerned about the door panels getting dirty with the Oyster/Black option. My current 3 series has Oyster which I love, but the 3 has black door panels. I hope I have chosen correctly.

Other options that I have ordered (if anyone is interested) are:-

Pro Sat nav
Visibility package
Step auto with sport option
Heated seats (still an option at the time)
Heated steering wheel
Prostitute glass
M rear spoiler
Split rear seats
USB connectivity (still an option at the time)
Ambient lighting
DAB radio
Reversing camera
Windscreen with grey shade-band
Air Conditioning with extended features
De-badged
Deleted smokers pack

(Is it a little under spec ed? should I have gone for comfort access?)

I have ordered the car withe the standard M Sport 18's because I was concerned about ride quality on the 19's with the M suspension. Did not go for VDC as I think it is too expensive and should be standard. If BMW can't get the right balance between ride control and comfort, then don't charge to fix the problem. If you must charge then make it reasonable. Nearly £1000 is ridiculous.

Anyway, rant over.

Will post review and photo's if I ever get back out!!

Excuse my ignorance, but what is Prostitute Glass? Is it dark tint?
