Hi everyone, I bought my first BMW 3 months ago (just found this site) it's a 2006 525i, so far it's been back to the garage 3 times!!! the parking brake brake shoes were broken, about 80% of one of the shoes was missing and a month ago, some fool crashed into the front of my car, new bumper, new front wing etc etc, got the car back a week ago and the garage (BMW main dealer) had broken the parking sensors??? they have to order a new part from Germany, will be here in two weeks. I only hope that my first BMW experience will improve after this bad start, because I just love my new car.

Thomas ... What a terrible way to start your posts.

I drove through Ireland for about 10 days last May ... it was a driving experience indeed ... and a beautiful country.

I truly hope your future experiences are more pleasant!
