See one of these on the a421 today, look nice , wasn't you was it?

bmwak · 12-10-2013, 04:14 PM

Looks really nice mate. I recently had the pleasure of driving a 520d M-Sport F10 for a week and have a soft spot for these now.

I used to own a facelift 320d coupe before and really thought the engine would struggle in the F10 chassis but how wrong was I - it drove lovely and had plenty of power - pretty amazing considering it is a tweaked N47 lump. I really was surprised by how well it drove and how much more refined it felt in comparison.

The toys inside it were also great, as was the interior - definetely a nice place to be in.

Very smart congrats

Thanks. Yes, I was a bit apprehensive about how the 520d was going to perform with such an increase in size, bearing in mind it's pretty much the same 184bhp engine I had in my E90. Really deliberated over a 530d with fewer options but so pleased I went the way I did. I'm genuinely impressed with it, especially with the 8 speed auto it accelerates very well and just wafts along in near silence.

They are actually doing a 518d now so that says something I suppose.

It's the new Multi Function Display option and the pics really don't do it justice. Such a nice piece of kit, still haven't had a chance to fiddle with all the toys yet.

Yup, Bright white LED halos with eyebrows. I just flicked the welcome home lights on the fob to take the pics. Halo's actually just switched off prior to taking the pics leaving just the HID's on

Looks great, I want one of these so bad.

SgtGoldy · 12-11-2013, 01:55 AM

Jesus that Dash is sexy. Did they start doing this with the 3 series?

G82Dude · 12-11-2013, 05:46 AM

Very jazzy! And much better with the iDrive screen AS PART OF THE CAR/DASH and not an AFTER THOUGHT/STUCK ON like the new cars BMW are producing!

And yes, is MFD coming to the new 1, 2, 3, 4 series?

richk84 · 12-11-2013, 06:06 AM

Does look nice!

ve seen some which have the flat bottom angel eyes? Do you get them with adaptive xenons??

xenon · 12-11-2013, 06:16 AM

You don't get adapative xenons on the F10 LCI. You get non-adaptive xenons as standard (recognisable as the indicators are normal bulbs) OR you get adaptive LED lights. The adaptive LEDs are amazing.

adamroutley · 12-11-2013, 06:18 AM

I'd never get out of it!

dobbo99 · 12-11-2013, 08:20 AM

these look really nice on the road, a big car, but nicely proportioned with good presence.

and you have the same buggy as us, seems to fill any boot!

mob17 · 12-11-2013, 08:53 AM

Very nice car

We had our new F10 520D Luxury delivered on Saturday. Options are pretty much the same as yours, but we went with VDC as well. The MFD looks very nice on ours too!

Are you planning on doing a break in service (oil) at 1200 miles? I know these latest cars don't come with that recommendation, but guys like Mike Miller swear by it, saying there's a lot of metal at 1200 miles in new BMW cars.

xenon · 12-11-2013, 09:00 AM

There hasn't been a recommended 1200 mile service on anything other than M cars has there?
