My Ride: My 1st was an '06 530xi, Titanium Silver w/ gray dakota leather, sport pkg. & Nav.
Now my 2nd is an '08 650i CP, Space Gray, Blk Dakota, Sprt. Auto, HUD, Sprt. Pkg., Prem. Sound, High Beam Ast. & Comfort Access
Hello,
I just moved over from the e60 side. My lease was up on my 530xi and I opted for a new '08 650i. It has only been one day since I took delivery so all I can say is WOW! I am looking forward to every chance I have to get behind the wheel and enjoy this machine.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to change my avatar.

congrats on the new car! Post up some pics. Any plans for it?
I don't have any plans for mods I am a pretty simple guy. I have thought about having the wheels chromed but that will wait until next spring if I decide to go that way. Tint may be in the future, I will have to see how this black interior does during the remainder of the summer.
I am waiting to get through the break-in period and then shame some poor little rice burner who thinks they can keep up with this beast on a winding country road. Already had some goof in a tricked out F-150 think he could leave me behind on a snake'ing road. I stayed on his bumber, in my lane, while he had to use half of the opposing lane to drain his energy. He finally realized he was out of his league and settled down. All I could think of was this vehicle is such a pleasure with its engine and handling characteristics.
