Now that was a silly thing to do.....

Popped into my local BMW garage and while I was there say in a new 5er and picked up a brochure for the new touring which is out in June.

It is very nice inside and doesnt feel like a big car if you know what I mean. I didn't go for spin as would want to go out in a touring and something with a 6 pot.
Does show up the quality difference between the current 3er and new 5!

They had a white msport with some m performance bits on and a black grille. Looked good but the black grille is too big and noticeable on a white car especially as you can't see through it.

I have already done a quick spec and up to 58kish for a 540i(only comes with xdrive) so guessing looking about 48ish with discounts?

Can someone please take the bmw website down so I dont start playing with the configurator...

I have seen 3 x 540i's in the last few days with big blue brakes and 1 of them had the M kit with black grills.

I have to admit, they are growing on me!

As with any bmw spec is key I think. Needs 19s or 20s and the msport plus pack has both for the same price so 20s it would be.

Anyone know if the logic for the Sat NAV is still using the same sh1te as Now? Would be a shame if it is with that nice big screen.
