Presenting my new

Hello everyone, here is a "modest" 520 dA from southern Europe that adds to the group of g30 5 series. I would like to share it with you.

I placed the order in the middle of November, and it came to my hands just 2 days ago. These are the specs details:

JC31 520d
C2Y Bluestone metallic
7AC Sport Line
CNAT Fabric / leather 'Plectoid' Anthrazit combination
23W 18" V 684 wheels
3MB BMW Individual Exterior Line satin Aluminium
4K9 Int. moldings rectified Aluminum / Accent. molding pearl shine chrome
6CP Apple CarPlay preparation
775 Black color anthrazit interior roof
778 BMW Individual logo door molds
ZCF Comfort Pack
ZIV Innovation Pack
ZSF Safety Packs
2TE Automatic gearbox with shift paddles
5AT Driving Assistant Plus

I've barely been able to do 100km, I've been more time with the manual and the configuration of everything than driving ... It's crazy.

Well, not too many Sport seen here, so there is more variety.
I hope to offer more impressions when I can drive and test more the car in the coming weeks.
Here I show some pics:

Thank you very much everyone, mates.
This week I made a long trip, over 600 miles. All motorways and a short driving in the city, with good weather and conditions.

I have been able to check some of the many virtues of the car.
It has been a family trip, quiet, focused more on knowing the behavior of the main functions and settings.
Almost 100% of the trip in EcoPro. The 1st thing is to highlight that, despite the running-in, the consumption is almost in the same values as my previous 320d (around 51 mpg).

It is very comfortable, but it doesn´t feel heavy or ungainly at all. Inside I haven´t appreciated a considerable space improvement, but noticeably in the trunk ...

Well, everything related to driving aids, fantastic. Especially the Driving assist & Head Up.

These are the standard sports seats of the Sport Line pack available in Spain.
If I'm not mistaken, the sport seats in the Sport M are the same as the Sport Line seats, with the difference that the latter are fabric-leather instead of all leather.

I have to say that it is a bit hard me to find the right position at the begining, despite the multitude of regulations that it allows (I have also comfort pack with lumbar reg).
I tend to look for a far and low position on the steering wheel to feel comfortable, but that is not very compatible with the Head Up and the wish of seeing the limits of the car with your own eyes (especially now at the beginning) ...

In the end it is a matter of adaptation. Every time I feel more comfortable.
In my case it was clear, I like the feeling of being well held ...

In Europe standard Sport seats with M Sport package are fabric-alcantara.




p.s. They look much better in person.

Getting a very similar car in a few weeks! Looks greats. Tell me are the rear wheels 8 or 9 inch wide? In the uk those wheels are 8 inch all round, but yours appear to be wider at the back?

Hello,
I do not understand that measure well enough. For me they are 18 inches.
I would have preferred to take the 19, but decided to invest the money in more equipment.
I do not regret, the result with 18 is as acceptable and colorful as in the photos ...

In this measure I have the same width in both trains
