Hi there. I thought I should introduce my ride.
I ordered it in March last year and took delivery in June. After driving diesels for many years (company cars), when I changed jobs, I decide to buy my own and go back to petrol. My previous 5 series were an E60 525d M Sport LCI in Titanium silver and an F10 530d SE in Deep sea blue. I selected a pretty comprehensive list of options; MEDITERRANBLAU METALLIC (C10) Upholstery EXC.LED.NA./ELFEN.W. EX.NAHT(SW/SW) (LZET) - Ivory white XE7 IND.INTERIEUR T.PIANO FINISH, BLACK 2ND M L.-A.W. DOUBLE SPOKE 351 M/16",MT 2PA LOCKING WHEEL BOLTS 2TB SPORT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 2VA ADAPTIVE DRIVE 2VB TYRE PRESSURE INDICATOR 230 EU SPECIFIC ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT 248 STEERING WHEEL HEATING 258 RUNFLAT TYRES 3AC TRAILER TOW HITCH 3DZ WITHOUT ADDITIONAL DESIGNATION OUTS 302 ALARM SYSTEM 323 SOFT CLOSE AUTOMATIC SYSTEM FOR DOORS 337 M SPORT PACKAGE 4NB AUT.AIR CONDITIONING 4-ZONE CONTROL 4NE BLOW-BY-HEATER 4UR AMBIENT LIGHT 423 FLOOR MATS, VELOUR 428 WARNING TRIANGLE 430 INT/EXT RR VW MIRROR W AUT ANTI-DAZZLE 431 INTERIOR RR VW MIRROR W AUT ANTI-D 441 SMOKERS PACKAGE 456 COMFORT SEATS, ELECTRIC.

Anyway, here are some pictures; The 318d M Sport - looks nice, but painfully slow - and noisy! My old 530d SE at the 'Ring; SE looks, but with adaptive drive, sports seats, black external trim etc and in the sun; And my E60, heading to France...I loved that car! needed more power, but great looks! On track at Prenois-Dijon; Last edited by 535i MSport; 04-30-2016 at 04:26 AM.. |

Any thoughts on the wheel colour?
I wonder if the silver is...too silver!!! thinking of going to Ferric Grey 2 like the M434 wheels (M550d).

I have a slightly darker finish, BBS calls it Platinum Silver:
bbs.com I don't have any great photos of the wheel color, but check the following links: f10.5post.com f10.5post.com |

One thing I haven't yet done, is to compare the colours side by side, but I think the Med Blue is slightly nicer in low light conditions. In bright sunlight they both come alive, perhaps the DSB by a fraction more? The funny thing is, that I had planned to buy a white one, but I also wanted the pale interior and my SA warned me against it!

They are different, although it's hard to put the difference into words, I also prefer Med Blue.
Would definitely be interesting with a side by side comparison under different light conditions. But I don't think Deep Sea Blue was available with M Sport package? |
