Talking Just collected my new 520d SE

My new 520d SE sports auto arrived at the dealer earlier this week and I've just collected it - it's an upgrade from my previous '07 120d M Sport and so far I love it.

Ride is so much smoother compared to the sport suspension and the sports auto seems very smooth in normal mode (haven't tried sports or sports+ mode yet - I'll be taking it out for more of a push later)


520d SE auto
Black sapphire
Black Dakota leather (black trim)
Professional media package
18" 328 alloys
Model designation deletion
Loudspeaker upgrade
Telephone USB interface
Mobile application prep

From ordering to delivery was 6 weeks - very impressive.

Enjoy every moment, I am 3 weeks and 2500 miles in and the magic is still there...I keep finding new things to try or play with.

Last night for example I had the opportunity to drive her for 40 miles or so through some twisty A roads, hardly anything on the road so put her into Sport+ for the first time in anger...OMG it was like parking up the 520d SE and getting into something very different! The sport setting loosens her up a bit but the sport+ just changes the car completely and using the paddles was such fun I can't wait to do it again in a couple of weeks.

The car really does shift as well loads of power and great performance, if you keep the revs up a bit she is very responsive, when you push it the set-up allows you to get to the redline before changing for you which is very good, other cars I have had would clip your wings well before you started to redline.
