Congratulations on the order. Carbon black is peachy.
Which model did you go for ? My dealer confirms week 10 build will have the "spring updates". Check with yours to ensure your car is scheduled for that build date. I guess it is as your delivery date sounds the same as mine. Could be that we are taking delivery on te same day |

Nice one.
I think the sports Auto is worth the £200 extra though (less depending on what model your starting with). And the black panel display at £100. But who really cares? You'll be driving your 5 soon enough, and that's worth it alone... |

You can no longer get sports auto on the 520d. You can have paddles though.

Nwestlak, I went for the 520d M Sport Automatic (no paddles), I'll have to find out the build date but I'm guessing it's something like 2 weeks prior to delivery which puts me at a week 11 build. xs2man if the 520d had the sport auto with the stubby gear selector then it would have been worth it but over the last 6 months of owning my Accord, I've honestly used the paddles maybe 5 times so even though it's not much money saved, it's still something I am however getting the full black panel display and for free too apparently |

Glad to have helped accordRE
I think the Black Panel Display was another change they made to the spec. When I looked at the configuration the other week, I noticed it was standard now. |

Black panel is standard now. I do agree re the paddles, I have them as I wanted them being a toy man, but have used them a handful of times and would not miss them

Yeah the paddles are a bit of a novelty but it's a shame the sports auto is no longer available. Still, it's an excuse for a 530d next time.

I have the paddles in my current 5, and had them in my previous 3, and I do agree I barely use them. But I do love my wee gearstick, and the gearbox in general. Didn't realise it wasn't really available on smaller engined motors though.
Black Panel being standard now is a real boost too. |
