Actually I think you’re right, I should get the Icon lights, they complete the look of the car and from looking at TRL’s Babybmw page the adaptive lights on the M140i add £260 to the GFV, and they only cost £500 so on the 5 series they should add even more to the GFV!

So do I take it you've decided on the 5 over the X3?
Think it will be the 5 for us. Only benefit of the X3 seems to be a slightly louder exhaust, which I'm sure will get tedious after a while (he says, showing his age) No not sure about comfort seats, which weren't an option until I started looking at some of these threads |

Never noticed this until we started talking about it in this thread. I don't have any other chrome trims in the car :

I like the chrome strip on the door handles.

Also drove the 530d xdrive and 540i xdrive at the weekend. Still can't decide which I prefer. Both brilliant engines. |

Planning to test drive in a couple of weeks. Spoke to the dealer today and explained I'd be sending across a list of requirements I need to try before ordering, and sports / comfort seats is on the list. |

We are less than 10k, a lot small journeys with longer ones once or twice a month, so petrol for me (even though a couple of reviews suggest the diesel is the better choice as car to refined to get the full benefit of the petrol)

Petrol makes sense not sure you would see the benefit of diesel. Most of my commute is sitting on a dual carriageway. |

Can't decide on this or Blue Stone. Dealer had an estate in that an looks much better in the flesh than pictures. Can't help think the Mediterranean blue looks a bit dull, although again the could be photos. Does help that the blue on the 3 and X3 is nicer in my opinion
