Whats funny? The oe and none oe tyres are massively different. Different enough that the OE ought to have been called a different name

Collected the 530D today, so far so good.
This is when the angels shed light on my purchase....I think
A solid step up form the F10 and I forgot how effortless the 3L Diesel engine is. Damping big step up from my F10, rides massively better than my previous F10 did and also the E220 more recently. Traction is much better too than either, no wheels spinning up today and they would have in both of those others based on doing the same foot down stuff in todays conditions.
Needs to read the books tonight to get to grips with it but for 30K a **** tonne of epic car.

Yes, I think they make or break the front end aesthetic, the standard lights, while functionally fine, look a bit cheap.
Almost nobody specs the BMW Icon Adaptive lights, the beam will adjust as you drive along automatically to keep more of the road illuminated - usually works well.
Thanks I was trying to work out what the packs were on the 2018 model so that helps, though it was mentioned above too to be fair. I will have a drive in a bit in the dark but I do miss the lights from my old 5 series which were superb. E220's were dire, I mean really really bad and the GTR's though much better are still not a patch on the former 5 series I had. Roundy corner lights me like.Yes, I think they make or break the front end aesthetic, the standard lights, while functionally fine, look a bit cheap.
Almost nobody specs the BMW Icon Adaptive lights, I'm sure they are very good at night too, the beam will adjust as you drive along automatically to keep more of the road illuminated - usually works well.

There's the BMW ConnectedDrive app, it might take a few days before you can register the car though.
Yea downloaded a couple will give them a nose.
I have a couple for my Merc and they work well, really like the ability to zone the car so if it starts or moves etc I get a message.
I don't think the BMW one can do that. I find it quite poor to be honest, I only use it to see how much fuel it doesn't have.

I'm not sure that parking sensor button is large enough!

Perhaps it has the Fray Bentos pack?
