Nice...congrats. Those seats are interesting...Recaro? How comfortable and supportive are they? And, yes, tell us how it drives (compared with a 335i -- I take it since you had ordered/canceled the 335i that you at least test drove a 335i)? Thanks.

Thank you all for your words. I must say the car looks much sexier in person then on the pics!!

So far i can say the car drives amazingly well, i will post more comments on that after: 1) i get used to driving a stick again (used to drive an automatic for the last couple of years!) and 2) after i drive the first 1000km in it - dealer recommended me to be gentle with the car until then

And no, I didn't test drive the 335i - unfortunately it's not available for test drives where i live :mad:. So can't really compare the two...

These seats come as standard for S5. Not sure if they are recaro or not. Actually i don't think they are supportive enough for this car. IMO sport seats in e92 are more supportive.

Looks good. And yes, more pictures.
Love the calipers too. Would like to see an M emblem on BMW's calipers.

Actually I read somewhere that the e92/e90 interior was designed by someone that used to design for Audi. Can any one confirm.

It looks nice, but what bothers me overall is the rear end...it looks so similar to the 335 coupe. I feels like a copy cat...
