Im in the process of looking at getting one as a new company car. Hardest choice is the colour. White or Med blue?

It's a 2.0d. I'm just up and down the motorway now. Had a 435d before but didn't really need the power.
If funds isn't too restrictive I'd get the 530d.

Can't offer advice on colour as I'm biased. Personal preference.

It does look very nice, Med blue by a nose at the minute i think. Most of my driving is motorway as well. How have you found the noise in the cabin? is it quiet? road noise, engine noise etc?

Engine noise is very minimal/almost non existent. Unless you accelerate hard. The only noise is from the tyres really with normal driving.

It's a big improvement on the F10.

Ecopro is very different. It disengages the engine and coasts. Can be a bit clunky when taking up drive if you're not gentle reapplying the power. Comfort mode is fine.

Driver assistant plus is good. Feel very safe.

Nice, looks great. I'm thinking of a similar config. Is that Ivory White Dakota or Nappa leather? Also, are those the multi contour seats?

Those are the sport seats (standard in the US), so dakota leather.
