Hello All

Time to move on! I have loved owning my 545 over the last two years! Sad to see her go but.....

Now I am running a car which I think is revolutionary: the 335d

US guys won't have seen these, but the UK (and everywhere else?) will know all about it.

I spend 99% of my time around town, short runs on the motorway etc, hence my decision to go to the 3 series.

Now which one? I drove a few, and 335d was the overwelming favourite! 580 MN of torque! (60 more than the M5) Plus
excellent handling traction control, electronics (BT just works in 2 seconds) just perfect around town and motorway....

I think however even though I am no longer a 5 series owner I'll hang around E60.net....

Cheers
stu

1990 M5 The best ever (Sold in UK)
1996 328 Loved it Sold
1996 V70 (no cant explain)
2004 545 Loved it - Sold
2009 335d Go the diesel!

What? I sat in one at my dealer in February 2009. I thought about getting one... A little spendy though - plus I'd try any put veggie oil in it if I got one :|

Not everyone. More folks want to get one than get rid of one, that's for sure.
