Default My Santorini Blue will be delivered next week.

.... in Munich. Yes it's a 535i but I thought I'd share it with my RL friends. I'm super pumped.

Bruce,
Nice choice on the 535i M Sport.

I recently sold my 2012 535xi M Sport and bought a new Range Rover Sport Supercharged to replace it. I needed the hauling and towing capacity and became mesmerized by the Range Rover's 510 HP Jaguar V8.

You will enjoy the 535i. I have had three 5 series over the years and the F/30 is by far the best of the bunch. It is a very large car and feels like a large car. Although with the Sport Suspension setting, it tightens up nicely in both the body and the steering.

The one gripe I did have and it looks like you will not have this issue, was the cheap looking dash. I see you ordered the leather covered dash. That should make all the difference in the world as far as luxury feel inside the cabin.

Awesome colour although I don't think I would have ordered it on as big of a car as a 5 series. Have fun with your Euro delivery, what a fantastic way to get to know your new car.

Thanks for the kind words guys.
Euro delivery has always been on my list, and I'll get to share it with my dad for a full two weeks. This is my first new car in 14 years, I was determined to make it special.

Here is the color on an M3

I'll post pictures from Munich!
