[LOZ535DGT]

Ok, some time tomorrow morning my 535D GT will be delivered and I'm Jittering with excitement.

I think I've paid through the nose for a 62 plate (4 years old) with 28k miles on the clock from a dealership but I'm fine with that.

Although somewat terrified for my license and my safety (I'm slightly lead footed).

I have a few questions that hopefully you guys can help with....

1. Are there any service I should expect to have to do soon, belts etc?

2. does it have timing belt or a chain, what's the interval?

3. are there any quick cheap win mods that I should do?

4. how difficult/exspensive is it to get extra keys

5. can Sophistico Grey be touched up easily?

hi there, are you happy with you 535. going to look at one at the weekend in Halliwell jones. got a question to ask you. i have an x1 because i have a bad back, the dealer told me that the 5 series gt has the same ride height as the x1.
do they ride quite high??
thanks

they do ride pretty high yes, particularly if not an m-sport one which is 10mm lower., X1 rides pretty low for a crossover.

I have a 2014 535i GT. The ride height of the car is between a 5 sedan and X3 or X5. The thing to remember is that the cabin height of the GT is larger than the 5 series. This lets you raise the seat for an even higher "feel" and still leave headroom for a 6 foot tall person.

The accessories I recommend are iPhone cradle, trash can and a trunk liner. I like the BMW trunk liner design. YMMV.
