My Ride: 2006 BMW 650i Sport 63 Coupe - Stratus Grey
Steptronic Auto, Pro Sat Nav, Bluetooth Car Kit,
Logic & Sound System, Memory Heated Seats,
Folding Mirrors, PDC, 19 inch Sport Wheels
Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to say hello. As you've probably guessed I'm Kevin and I live in the East Midlands, UK. I've just collected my brand spanking new 650i Sport and I'm totally in love with it..
It's a Steptronic Auto in Stratus Grey with Black Dakota Leather. Accessories are Professional Sat Nav, Logic 7 Sound System, Bluetooth Phone kit, heated memory seats, folding mirrors, plus DSC, TMC, PDC and lot's of other 3 letter acronyms I don't understand..
I would just like to start of by saying how helpful I have already found these forums. And I only started reading them yesterday. I've already confirmed that the 2006-2 Sat Nav DVD doesn't allow Post Code search and tracked down a 2006-1 DVD, which I collect tomorrow, (this should work). I've also worked out how to write MP3 CD's that display the full track name.
My previous car was a Nissan 350Z GT4 and I'm pleased to say I've met some really nice people on the 350Z forums. Hope to meet some equally nice BMW enthusiasts soon.
Regards
K

Welcome, love to see 6ers here
Nice pics as well. Sometimes the Stratus almost looks like my Silver in some lighting conditions. Lots of friendly folks here and helpful too.
