#excited, 2 weeks and counting...

So, after MUCH deliberation I have pulled the trigger today and it's on its way...

F11 520d M Sport Touring
Space Grey
Black Dakota leather
service pack included
19" M Double-spoke style 351M alloy whee
Automatic transmission with gearshift pa
Reversing Assist camera
Ambient lighting
Ext. mirrors - folding. auto dimming
Multi-functional instrument panel
M Sport Plus package
Media package - BMW Professional

So, so excited. I'm moving out of a 2009 318d M Sport Saloon that's now on 100,000 miles so pretty sure I'll feel a massive upgrade!?

Will post up pics as soon as it arrives.

Only one thing I'm not happy about and that is the lack of the stubby Sport Auto gear selector!! The, thin, tall one looks stupid to me. Is there any way this can be retro fitted? Anyone done that yet to an LCI?

Anyone give me their view on the Harmon Kardon? I'm really into my music and this is a big thing for me. Just hope the sound will match how well I think it should sound.

Cheers and looking forward to finding out what slight 'adjustments' I need to make. Thinking black grills are going to be my first mod!

Cheers, Michael

Wow, that is almost my exact spec, except mine is F10 and oyster leather. Great choice! HK hifi is awesome, really punchy for a standard audio.
Congrats.

PS Re the gearstick, I was the same, ordered stubby, and got normal wand, without being told it had changed from sports auto when I ordered. It cannot be retro fitted no. As it happens the wand is a lovely thing to use, same as my old E60

Cheers to all for replies. You are not helping me to calm down. I'm living a two week Christmas Eve here!!!

I can't wait.

I'm already looking at 20" wheels. Jesus, must not mod, must not mod.

I've got 1 whole Month to go until I get mine, I recommend doing what others on here told me to do in the meantime.... read a copy of the manual(can be downloaded).

Ha ha ha. I did that with my first one. It definitely helps.
Also good is looking for videos on YouTube about the media system.
