Congrats on the new ride. How's it fill going from a i6 to a v8? Those roads in the background looks like you'll need your old Jeep.

I love the "8" The 530 was a great car.....but this is so much more!! Having a hard time wiping the grin off my face

There are some nice trails to offroad around here.....but the road up to where I took these pics this morning is a fun little twisty.......the E60 is made just for that!!

Nice, but why put the clay treatment on a new paint job?

Funny you should ask that....I've been reading about claying this last week, and again this morning......and at this point, given the condition of my paint.....I probably won't clay......just a nice polish/wax job....couple of coats......is there something wrong with me that I look forward to all that work lol

Beautiful pictures! Love the car.

It's a good thing that you photoshopped your license plate number out so that strangers couldn't see it. That is except for the few thousand or so people each day that see it on your car

Actually, my plate isn't photoshopped white....the dealers placard is a loud orange, and I didn't think it went with the car.....so until my plates arrive, I turned it backwards with the white side showing
