Lovely car.. Got my 520d coming in October. Been waiting since June. When did you order yours?

BTW: Hope you get better than 20mpg in the long run. Were you blasting it from the dealership

No, the I ordered the "All weather floor mats" - they are rubber but good quality.
In UK the full set (4 pieces) is £70.00

That's right - they are the standard 17" V-Spoke Style 236.

Didn't feel to pay another £700 to go for the 18", instead some other toys.

Bet you do. My 12 weeks waiting time was so long, especially the last 9 days as the car was ready at the dealership.

Finally another fellow 17 inch wheeler. Wait until you try and wash them... You will be cursing BMW for that crazy design every time. It takes me the same amount of time to get the wheels properly clean as it does the rest of the car.

For those who haven't seen them live - you need to reach behind each of the spokes. There's a finger thick gap between the spokes and that internal smaller circumference ridge that you can see on the pics the OP posted.

Also just noticed that the oil temp gauge maxes out at 150 deg whereas on the 523i it's 170. Strange given yours has a turbo so could in theory be runnning hotter.

Thank you so much. Pro Nav does the job well.

By the way had a look at the GAP Ins. Now Quidco offers 25% cashback.

I would go for the 20K/4 years.

I ordered in the very first week of June. Mine was built in July and arrived at the dealership 2 weeks ago.

I feel your pain brother, just washed my V spoke 18' last weekend, and it took me ages to do the job. I wasn't half as tired washing rest of the car.

You've got a beauty there joy5, enjoy!!!

Couple of questions if not to much bother, does the engine cover just pull off? As I intend installing my spider unit at 1000 miles.

I have also specified the sun protection glass however looking at your car was disappointed how light they were at the rear. My car is black inside but think I may need to apply film as well. What are your thoughts on the darkness??

Cheers

Baby seat is really a Graco, not new though, not BMW.
