Thanks guys. Glad you all approve.

haha... that cap belongs to my little one (4yrs 8mth). To be honest, it was his constant love for BMW cars that made me get back into BMW after awhile of being away. For him, no other car comes close. He would point out a BMW everytime he sees one and if the owner is next to the car, he would go and talk to them about their BMW. So time was up for me. Rather than wait for the new5 which IMO looks "better". ( i always liked the line down the side which is lost in this E60. Chris bungled work?)

Anyway, my boy says that he will wear his cap ONLY in the car coz he doesn't want people outside to know we have a BMW. What a lad!! Hence the cap is a permanent fixture of the car.

thanks guys for viewing and commenting on the post.

cheers

Good to hear your boy's already worked out what the right car is -- he deserves a gold star for that

Too right. Gosh its a never ending story for him and BMWs. Even ferraris can't match up to his BMW. After we got the car, the next day he told his school teachers and helpers that his BMW can do 160mph. To him thats the 'fastest' any car could do. Even then I tell him supercars are better, he will still come back and say, No dad,.. not as good as BMW.

so there you go, a potential BMW customer of the future.

cheers

Nice and clean. Just curious, but how quickly did it get dirty after you took these pictures?

Very sharp (and clean) car!

I love the interior color combo. I'm a big fan of unique color combos, similar to the ones you see on some of the Merc CLS designo models.

Beautiful ride!

I am very interested in the 535d (and 335d for that matter) as they are/will be available in the States soon (Minneapolis motorwerks had a 335d in the showroom a couple of weeks ago. I am liking the power and torque, and especially the mileage. That being said, I am not liking the diesel price these days--more than regular petrol. But maybe that's just the US I guess--we don't really appreciate how low the prices for both are when compared to everywhere else in the world...

Diesel is more expensive than petrol in the UK working out about 97.7 pence per ltr (petrol is over 11p cheaper). yes that $5.46 per gallon (US)
