Wow ... I have owned 2 Porsche 993s, a Ferrari 355, a E39 540i 6 speed and many other cars. This is by far the best car I have ever owned. This car has exceeded my expectations in every way I just need to find a good source for 15mm spacers! Can anyone point me in the right direction.

This is my first post on this Forum ... I am glad to e-meet all of you!

IMHO it does ... My F355 had 375HP and gave me a headache after 30 mins of driving it. The handling was nice but a far cry from this E60. I look at the big picture ... 4 door sedan ... incredible comfort ... great handling ... and 360HP... and almost half the price of a F355! ... I love it

Welcome aboard. Glad you found us.

Very nice looking car. Excellent choice.

M Kit and wheels look great. Are those style 172 wheels?

I spy comfort seats too. What are you other options? No HUD?

Rudy ... that is my real name ... I was born with it ... not much I can do about it. Check out the management section at www.q9.com ... that is my company which is public and traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange!

BTW ... one of my lawyers' name is Richard Nixon ... him and I always debate who has a more "inetersting" name. He claims that he would trade me any day of the week.

Cheers,
Osama

Interesting! I thought about the possibility that it might be your real name but I figured there's no way it was.

I hope I didn't insult you and I hope you know I was just having a little fun. I think if I had to choose, I'd take your name over your lawyer's...
