Hey, neighbor, welcome aboard, freed0m.? I placed my order at the same dealership as you. I will pick up mine pretty soon. How long did it take from the ship arrival to your pick up? Let's exchange an info from now, say service, good SA, etc. There are another members around here. Soc_fans, and anybody else??

Yep, I am in the Bay Area, too. I ordered at BMW in Mountain View, but looked at Fremont. We need to organize a little "BMW Meet" when I have my car, which will probably be sometime in March.

Hey Iceman! Thanks for the warm welcome? ? Members like you on this site with great advice saved me from going to the dark side! Almost bought a Cayenne S? ? phew....

I would not call the Cayenne S the dark side. The Cayenne S is a very nice car. I wish I had one. You can call Japanese built cars the dark side, but Porsche - they are awsome cars!

Mercedes is the DarkSide of BMW... and vice versa. Both are awesome but both are rivals of each other... hence Dark Side "Luke, I'm your father..."

You guys are hilarious! That's why I love this E60 Forums... I have been lurking the E60 Forums to pick up advices, owner experiences (good and bad), and purchasing tips (The Rizzo Method", I really feel that I got an excellent deal for this '05 545i comparing to sales qoute from Mountain View BMW, East Bay BMW, etc.

It would be really fun for local Bay Area, CA to get together to share and learn new information. I am brining in the 545i to a shop for Xpel clear bra installation in a few days ($700 for the hood, fender, mirror, bumper and 8 mil headlight kit installed w/ lifetime warranty), I'll post some pics of it too.

I think AUDI is the dark side.

Welcome. You'll never tire of this beast.

I have totally gotten a lot of use out of my snow tires here in Chicago this year, with an unusually large snowfall to date; but now I'm just dying to get back into my summer tires. Hurry up, April!

Hi Freed0m...nice car (looks familiar ). I am in Fremont, so count me in for a Bay Area meet (but not until I get my Eisenmann exhaust).
