Hehe,
thanks for the warm welcome. And indeed, I was enjoying my first rides yesterday
My first impressions are very good. Very good motor, good steering, ..., but I should drive some more during the next couple of days. Bad weather here (again :thumbsdown: ).
Only one remark: The armrest at the back is not that nice, one part (of the back, just next to the cupholder button) is in plastic (no leather). I find this very strange???
And here are the first pics, need to take some real nices ones in the future, ...
To BMW ///M 525xi --> Between Wetteren and Zottegem.

Lovely car, i agree with you about the rear arm rest, but rest of the car makes up for it. Enjoy!

Indeed wheater is not that good either
(Belgium heh 
), but it looks today it's gonna be a nice day for cruisin'.Concerning the armrest... don't really understand what you mean
. The armrest in the back has the cupholders, but there is leather on top of it, not? When you press the buttons then you see the cupholders...Or can you take a picture of what you mean?
BTW: not that far away from here
. Welcome
