Congrats, nice classic color combo.
And I bet that engine is great, I've only tried a F10 525d, and that was great.

If you could unfold the sat-nav screen to the same size as an OS Landranger sheet, with a similar amount of detail, I'd leave my maps at home as well .
Sat-nav's ok for getting from A to B, but it's no substitute for the real thing when exploring the countryside. |

What type of engine is the 530? In the US the 3L sequential turbo is called the x35d depending on the model.

Very cool,indeed.Ordinarily I don't like black but yours is a beauty.And you Europeans get just about everything in diesel while we get a few castoffs.
But the rumor is that a 5er diesel will be hitting our shores next year.Still trying to decide whethet I'll wait for it or do something now. Oh...BTW...did you notice that your steering wheel was installed improperly? (Sorry...couldn't help myself!) |

Forgot to ask...is that the basic leather (it's called "Dakota" leather here) or is it the premium stuff (called "Nappa" here)?

Lordy! 20,000 miles in 6 months, I do that over about 3 years. What mpg have you averaged now?
