Hehe, probably the happiest days of my life...

Most of you already know how i becamed an owner of my father's E60 530d and you also know that my father was considering the new 535d....

Well folks, we both are going to get one! Yes, you read it good, Tycoon is changing his 530d for a brand new 535d.



My father is doing well, he'll be able to drive the car next year (doctors said) and since i've done a pretty good job in mine and my father's business, he forced our local dealer to give me a good offer to change my car since my father is buying a new one. The car will cost me with all options 90.747,26,- € "on the road" and the delivery is scheduled for April next year. Now i'm paying cca 1000 € a month and believe it or not, for 535d i'll have to pay less a month. This morning i've received an informative offer about the car so here it is:

- Interlagos Blue Exterior Color (what else would Tycoon take )
- Nasca leather (still have to decide the color)
- Auto "Steptronic" Tranny
- Active Steering
- 18" Double Spoke Alloy Wheels
- Remote Alarm
- M Sports Package (You bet!)
- Satine Chrome
- Sunroof
- Velur
- Rear view mirror with automatic darkening (sp?)
- Active ventilated front seats
- Comfort front seats
- Heated front & back seats
- "Alu Cube Pure" Interior Trim (what else than Alu inside )
- PDC
- Bi-xenons
- Adaptive front headlights
- AC with extended finish (still have no clue what's that )
- Tempomat
- Nav "Professional" System
- Bluetooth interface for mobile phone
- Hi - Fi System Professional DSP LOGIC 7
- Tinted windows

That's about that. Of course i have plenty of time still to change some things and the 1st thing that i'm going to change are the rims, of course. I want some nice 19"s and i want you guys to help me to choose.

Feel free to ask whatever you want. Oh, and i'm sure i don't have to remind you folks about the numbers pulled out from that magnificent 3.0 twin turbo diesel power!

That's great news Tycoon! Hope it all pans out for you bro!

So many options - that Bimmer's still going to cost a fortune....
Do you really need Active Steering?

Thanks, Martin. Well, as i've said, there's still plenty of time to change some things. I'll see about the active steering, but i think i'll go for it in the end. Why not? I've tried it and it's cool. Besides, this car isn't made to be driven like you drive Subarus and such.... Right? It's a good thing to have and BMW invented it and whatever BMW invents it's fabulous!

Good for you Tyc

Thanks, Rob! To be honest, i still can't believe it's happening. So far i was only planning to put the M package on my current car and some bigger rims, but then comes my father [] and voila - Tycoon's getting 272hp Torpedo!

congrats Tycoon .. wish u and ur father all the best .. and drive carefully

Thanks man!

Sounds nice. As you know I've driven 535d, its great car and fast for a diesel, almost as fast as 545i. Maybe you change to 335d when it comes?

I didnt know interlagos existed for regular bimmers. and the rims, why change? I like the ones that comes with the sportpackage.

Great do hear your father getting better. A lot is happening for you Tycoon, two new babies in a short time (the car and the new baby)

Thanks, man! For Interlagos i didn't know either. I told to my dealer that i want that color and he told me ok. So you say that it's not available for non-M cars? I have to check that. Insofar you're right, it's gonna be Mystic blue or LeMans blue 'cause afaik those are available for regular cars.

Rims? Yeah, the ones that come with M Package are nice, very nice in fact, but i like these better:



or these:



Of course, they must be 19"....

Yeah, two babies... But one is a really big and powerfull baby...
Now, i only must find somewhere a baby carriage for my son, 'cause 3 years ago when my daughter was born, the BMW Baby Carriage wasn't available, BMW never made one. Now they're producing a lot of stuff for kids, so maybe more luck this time. And btw, if you or anyone here finds out something about that, please let me know here or e-mail me @ - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

90.747,26,- € that's a lot of money, why BMW 535d?
