I placed an intention to buy deposit before the car was even announced that is why

I have a habit of always wanting the first of everything - spolit only child syndrome

Had one of the first 535d, X5 twin turbo M Sports and new Boxsters on the road

Thanks for sharing proper pics...If the novelty ever wears off, (next to no chance), then feel free to let me have a respectful go...........I at least expect a passenger ride in it sometime.

Proper decent car that :)

Had to make some sort of effort because it was covered in cow shit!

I'm very happy. On the way back from in laws farm I averaged high 21s which given traffic I was in and when it was clear I was pushing it wouldn't have been much better in X5

The sound is just awesome
