Well just had a call from Park Lane to say that my F11 530 d sport has just arrived and will be ready for collection on the 4 April . Cannot wait to collect and fit black grills.....
Let the mods begin????

I have gone for Alpine White, with Cinnamon Leather (Hope I have made the right choice as spent ages stressing)
M Sport Package, 351 Alloys, Harmon Kardon, Sun Pro glass
Black roof bars,
Panoramic roof
Dark Ash dash
Eletric tow bar (To tow the E36 M3)

Have just ordered the grills and performance side sill strips. Fancy some Kellner alloys. But wife will officialy leave me.

Alloys it is then................... only messing

Gordon4499 · 03-27-2014, 07:40 AM

Excellent, got similar news myself.. Looking forward to some pics.

Piers · 03-27-2014, 08:01 AM

Nice spec that, I toyed with cinnamon for ages

JLR1969 · 03-27-2014, 05:37 PM

How long did you have to wait from placing the order? As you can imagine I cannot wait for mine to arrive.

Look forward to seeing the pics.

accordRE · 03-27-2014, 05:46 PM

Good luck with the collection, and the spec look awesome! Harmon Kardon sound is really good!

I placed my deposit on the 8 Jan and it was delayed as the build stopped due to the standard spec changing.

I was happy as it know has built in tyre monitors that show on the screen as opposed to just the warning light.

AP · 03-28-2014, 06:51 AM

waiting foir the pics when it arrives

good choice the 530d
I have one and I think the engine is great, perfect mix of performance and economy.

jamiesecker · 04-04-2014, 05:47 PM

Well collected the car tonight and very happy.
Cannot believe it took 5 mins to swat the rear diffuser and 10 for the grills.
No tools required so very happy.
My only disappointment is I had discussed getting the paddle shifters and on driving home realised they are not there????
Still if totally honest I would never really use them but took a little bit of the shine of!
Still great car and having only driven 6 miles in London traffic I am looking forward to a good run tomorrow!
Will post some picture then.

Photobucket is the easiest way I know. Do you have a snail like internet connection so the upload takes ages? If so, you will have the same problem wherever you try to upload them to.

You can post right here using paper clip (attachment tool) or try Flickr. If you have an iPhone, you can send a link to the album in the iCloud. Go on.

jamiesecker · 05-07-2014, 11:54 AM

Eventualy managed to upload some pictures.

Car was collected and rear def and grills fitted within 15 mins of getting home. I have since fitted the side decals.

Nice. White looks particularly good on the F11, IMHO.

xd · 05-08-2014, 05:30 AM

Great colour combination, even if I'm a little biased having the same

Piers · 05-08-2014, 05:25 PM

Looks great! Love the side decals
