Newbie getting car tomoz!

Hi just wanted to join the fun as I\'m getting delivery tomorrow of my White 520dse. Might not be the top spec but it\'s the best car I can get on company options and also the best car I\'ve ever owned so not complaining!! (coming from 318dse)

I had the choice of
A) 520d m sport but no other options...
B) 520d se with
Pro nav
Sports wheel
Anthracite headlinging
Sun protection glass.

I opted for b because I like the gadget side but wanted to know if you would of done the same??

Can\'t wait for tomoz :-)

I took delivery of a F11 M Sport a few weeks ago and went with a few gadgets.... e.g. business nave, power tailgate, sun protection glass, etc...) and to be honest I wish I'd gone SE and invested the M Sport cash into more goodies, such as pro nav and full electric seats, etc..

The reason is simple.... it's a beautiful car to drive and the interior feels like a special place, but I spend more time in the car than looking at it from the outside so the interior options would mean more to me.

Every time I have to manually adjust the seat it frustrates me .... silly I know but I can't help it.

I think you've made the right decision ... either way you'll love it

Enjoy!

I would of loved the m plus goodies but I actually said the same thing to a colleague who went m sport... I'll be inside driving not outside looking!!

Either way I suppose it's a matter if choice!

the car is simply stunning not been on here just wanted to drive drive drive!!! first 500 miles done.

even on a tight budget it feels so superior and prestigous.

defo happy with the pro nav options... sun protection glass is the tinted rear windows - on a white car they look v.cool.

took some pics.. hope the size is ok

I've never thought about a black grill before... do you think it will look good if i've not got the black shadowline?

All I can say is christmas will be rubbish this year unless the missus gets me a white 7 series!!!

I bought the grilles (matte black). My f10 is to be arrived during late September (time cannot move any faster, pity)

I've seen a lot of pics with the black grilles on alpine white. They look so good on it. Though i did not paid enough attention to the shadowline till you mentioned it

Ok 1 week old 800 miles the car is fantastic! I'm happy with the options and don't think I would change anything on my budget.
Thanks for the positive comments and hope the guys with cars on order enjoy the new motor as much as me :-)
