Hi Guys,

I have been reading here for a while and just wanted to share my excitment. Today I am picking up my first ever BMW and it's a 520d Sport Professional.

I have driven my previous car (1998 Mitsubishi Lancer) for 235,000km for the last 11 years. I put up with it and worked as hard as I could so I can afford a better car and ever since the e60 came out in 2003 I knew that is the car I wanted.

So today is finally the day, it's carbon black and has the 172M style 19" wheels. I will post a picture as soon as I pick it up!

Congrats Furious_g and welcome from down under.

A 520d Sport Professional in carbon black with 172 M's sounds just awesome.

Can't wait to see some pics!

Please send in some interior pics also.
