It's noted that your 535d has the multi-contour seats and aluminum trim. I searched months for that combination, but never saw one. In the end, I got the seats, but dark wood trim instead. Given your daily commute, you're going to love your diesel. Moreover, it sounds like you got a great deal. Enjoy.

I love it indeed. This is my first Bimmer ever and I just realized how great it is. I am always excited to drive her every single day.
I really got a great deal from the my dealer.
Thank you for your insight...

Isn't it grand to look for errands to run? Oh, darn! I forgot that thing at Home Depot/Costco/the grocery store! I really like taking the long way home!

Congrats!

You are absolutely correct bud. A few guys actually
asked about her. They all praised the car.
I am so proud of myself...
Thank you so much!

You need the ///M for the driver's side. I can't remember where I got mine but they weren't too expensive.

Your picture shows the ///M decal on the passenger side front fender, under the chrome strip. It's missing on the driver's side. I only added them because they are standard on Euro M-Sport cars.

I also sometimes, OK a LOT of times, just go in the garage to look at the car! I also wax it just for fun!

I am glad you said that. Every now and then
I go to the garage and look the car as well and
touched it. Lol. I just like her so much.....

I ordered 2 styles today from eBay:
Matt black for the side front fender &
Chrome for the trunk.
Pics attached...

Is that true? Never heard of that. Since I live in L.A., that could be a problem.

Driver Assistance, luxury and navigation/xirius.
I love it. Acceleration is fantastic. I drive 60 miles/day
round trip to &f from work and has only to fill my tank
every 13 days.

Damn, good price. How the heck did you talk them down that far? Because you bought the warranties? It has all the right packages. And still has a manufacturers warranty too. Best of all worlds. After looking at this I'm starting to rethink that 528i. Even though it has the same packages. It's a year older, though. They want $32k for it.

Enjoy man, I love it when things go right....

I studied carefully the dealership and how long the car
was already in the market. My unit was on the market for
4 weeks. After drive tested it, told them i am ready to buy if they work with me- price wise. I told them usually they sell thier unit after 1-2 weeks of posting.
My SA said at first $ 39k. I counter offered 30K. SA said $36K. I answered
back $32K. SA countered back We settled to $35K. Towards the end we settled
down to $33.5K final price..... lol

From what I've read the DPF needs lengthy periods of hot exhaust to keep it clean. Then there's the fluid that has to be periodically added (I don't know the purpose of this as I have only a rudimentary knowledge of diesels). A friend of mine had a Chevy diesel and said he had to replace the injectors every 100K or so miles.

I would read up on BMW diesels and then make my decision.

I like to haggle too. Unless you get some salesman who doesn't give a flip. How many miles did it have on it? I didn't see it in the other posts....

My SA was so patient and great though. It has 31K miles
when I got it. Although it’s a 2016 model but it was first used Sept.
2015 as leased....
