The 523 tops the sales last month. 150+ sold. More than the Merc E class.

I think you mean 600k bro. hehe.

At least those ppl enjoy a year of new launched car. I notice one of my neighbor got a 523 executive 2 or 3 months ago prior to the promotion. The car basically has no options, no sunroof, no paddle shift and so on. Don't know what this neighbor thinks now.

Yes, I keep cleaning it myself at least once per week. My sold 323iA was also black / black.

I will surely change the rims, but not sure about mods and drop.

Mine is the 523i exe version, so can only connect the iphone with USB cable. The problem is really annoying

mine is also Black/Black, aluminum trim.

I also use USB for connecting my iphone 4 but seem no problem. (because my 523i exec doesn't have bluetooth)

However, I found the sound quality is better by using USB drive for playing MP3 song in comparing with my iphone 4. (Same MP3 song source)

It is the USB drive I use, smallest size, 16G for about 4000 songs.

My first car 20 years ago was also black. I didn't care that much about keeping it clean and swirls back then. But the paint back then was easier to up keep. Now the paints are environmental friendly and water based. Swirls and scratches as easy as a piece of cake. The problem is everytime I took my car to maintenance (even BMWHK) and mods at other auto shops, they wash my car with dirty and sandy clothes. Now I make sure they skip the washing after their job.

All I do now is two buckets method. No cleaning lady or maid. Not gonna be 100% swirl free but pretty good. May be you guys are not as picky as me. I also just spent around a week to detail my car. Swirls, chips, and scratches free now. Except my scar face underside.

I wasn't sure about drop either at the beginning. But IMO a must do for F10, not for look but to improve handling and reduce body roll tremendously. Most members here swapped springs or coilovers. Even the conservative members.
