Finally had an opportunity to take pics of my car! I can only say that I love it. Absolutley don't regret getting SMG, makes every drive interesting. Tried acceleration assist last night, rearend went sideways and chirped the tires on 1-2 shift Feels faster than the 330i step traded in for this. Not bad for 225hp in such a big car =) Picked it up on 11/15 but the weather in Toronto has been pretty crap, it's either raining or snow flurries. Here are some pics from my mini photoshoot!















Funny thing happened on my way home from the photoshoot. Two kids in a 996 turbo(!!) pulled up beside me at a light. I gave him a "nice car" look, he glanced over for a fraction of a second and when the light turned green he proceeded to rape my poor little 530 I swear he put 324534 car lengths on me between my 1-2 shift(only complaint - very slow 1-2 shift). I felt so violated! ..or just jealous..

I like Alpine White on the e60. BTW... beautiful pictures...the bottom three in particular look like they could come from a BMW lay-out.

Can you tell me what camera did you use ? I've been to this post for 5 times just looking at the pictures. Really really nice. Good job!

Great looking car, What color wood grain is that and also why does your shifter look that way?
