LOL, yea I have found out it could be on a ship called the Arabian Breeze this Sunday bound for Southampton.
I hope so, and pictures will follow.
Not seen one in Moonstone paint with Cashmere Merino Beige leather.
So should look nice.

Nice choice.
what spec?

not driven the 535d personally, I have a 530d myself but you can be certain that the car will certainly shift when you want it to and at the other end of scale will be economical if you want it to be.

very nice spec indeed.
Would have been quicker to state what you hadn't put on it!

yea I do intend keeping it for a year or 2 so should comfortable.
I am not sure the new 5 series will be a big step up, but time will tell.
The 7 series was supposed to be great shakes and sales but are very low and the weight is not as greater saving as they insinuate.

The Beast · 09-28-2016, 02:33 PM

You sure it was 9605 and not 9615?

Here's a link to a F48 post with the various build codes

The 535D is a superb car, you will love it and the growl it makes!

That is great spec, I have a similar spec on mine other than the parking and surround view. It is crazy that folding mirrors are not standard on the 535. The VDC is superb as is the HUD.

Car on the Arabian Breeze bound for Southampton tomorrow morning.
week 41 looks likely , but I'm having the wheels painted dark metallic grey so could be a bit later.

Hi John,

Probably a stupid question but is there website where you can get your build status or is it just a case of getting the codes from the dealer?

Go to BMW.uk web site pick any car to build and there Genius will come up for a "Live chat", put your Chassis number in and ask about status.
