"With a truly great chassis, engine and sophisticated technology, the 530xi is a jewel of German engineering and prestige."

I like that M pack

Understatement. By far the best looking wagon in it's segment.

I like that M Sports pack as well - it's a must-have on any E90 5er; though I don't like the prospects of finding 19" replacement run flat tyres on it (unless it has standard tyres, but that's still expensive). Call me strange, but even buying a car of that price, I still don't want the 19" wheels. 18" is about the current maximum size for common replacement tyres, in Australia at least.

Plus, white looks rather .. anodyne .. on this car. White has regained favour in my eyes for some cars, where once it was the cheapest and most common colour possible in Australia. However, it doesn't work well here, IMO. Dark grey, blue, or black would be better.

...and the backlights need LEDs fast, too!

Absolutely! LEDs wre supposed to be there from the beginning...

Hell No. No LEDs for me.

Yes klier. It IS the best looking wagon...

I say the sedan get the wagons taillights!!!!!

agreed

Why no LEDs, Giannis? They are faster to respond and require less maintenance - it offers the best of both worlds - and on top of that, they are interesting to look at as well. The E36 5 Series, facelifted, and the 7 Series, facelifted, both had excellent 'rod-neon' LEDs that looked exceptional.
