Hey guys, I took delivery of my brand new 2013 535i today. I had three used ones in site, but they were sold by the time I got there after work.
This is my dream machine.
It's Alpine White with Black Dakota leather.
Here are the options:
M-Sport package.
Premium package.
Technology package.
Steptronic.
Rear View Camera.
Multi-Contour Seats.
Heated Front seats.
Park Distance Control.
I have to say, coming from a 750Li, this car just dazzles you. The cornering, performance, and just the way it looks is amazing.
I do miss the room in the 750, but this car more than makes up for it with so much more modern technology and convinience. All I have to say is wow!
Beautiful! Love those rims, is that piano black on the interior? V/r, Tim
P.S.- I know you came from a 750Li, quick question, any kids, and if so, hows that backseat? I sat in a 550 a few weeks ago and it looked like those rear seats were almost against the back of the front seats?
It's Anthracite and just beautiful.
My 750 was Li so it was a living room on wheels, but my daughter loved the back seat comfort of the new car. My wife and I tried it and loved it as well.

@DallasBimmer - Congratulations on your car! Great color! Two minor mods I would recommend. I would install the black grills, and the black mud flaps. It definitely gives it a more aggressive look. (I did that plus I tinted my windows.) I have been very happy with mine. It's a great car and looks incredible when clean! :drive:<O</O Note: I am looking at two more mods. The BMW website just started having some M add-ons for our cars. I really like the M Performance Exhaust and I thinking hard about the M Performance Rocker Panel decals. (I'm debating on the decals...like the look but don't want to look like an old street racer.) :loco:
Congratulations DallasBimmer - beautiful car. Light color is the way to go with the M-Sport package. That way the black trims show up so much better. I just wish BMW put springs that would lower the car by 1/2 an inch. There are days when I miss my E60 handling.
Beautiful car. I noticed you didn't get the sport tranny with paddle shifters. Any particular reason? I say this only because most m sports have this option. But great car!

Good question. When I went in on December 31st to buy the car, this one had all the options I wanted except the paddles. I checked with the other two dealers but they didn't have white with all black interior. I settled on this one since they sweetened the deal by getting real close to invoice and giving me what I wanted for my trade in.
I had paddles on my IS350 and only used them a few times in 4 years. I like the SAT, but am very happy with my cars performance, looks, and the price I paid! :angel:
i do not have paddle shifters on my m sport, i did have it on my e92 and i can honestly say i used it 2x in 2 years. Is it more so for aesthetics? or do you guys use it?
Other than playing around with them on rare occasion, I doubt I'll use mine much either. But back when I ordered my car, this forum educated me that when you upgrade to paddle shifters, you also get a better tranny. So I did...
I use em...a quick way to grab another gear or two when you want to really take off, as opposed to moving your hand to the gear shift, putting it in manual and then shifting. Not the end of the world without them, but a nice thing to have. Also, I've heard that the sports transmission options shifts faster...probably just a different software program or a software toggle activated with that option...I don't know, can anyone confirm if this is true.:dunno:
Yeah, I just noticed how much nicer the shifter on the SAT is too. That was a must have for me, paddles which come in handy sometimes, the much cooler look with them, the faster shifting tranny and of course the higher quality shifter.
However, to each their own, to some I can see it being negligible.
Nice car DallasBimmer, looks awesome in white, just like the BMW 535i M-Sport Saabkyle reviewed some time ago. I think it would also look nice in mat black or grey mat with black wheels.
