My Ride: 02" Porsche Carrera 911
Hi there, i've been lurking around here for the past month, reading about the 530's I've been a die hard lexus fan, but this summer i was in my home country Egypt and for some reason from seeing so many of the new body style (04 or newer) 5's i fell in love with it! For the past 4 years i've been seeing them in the USA but they never really caught my attention.
Anyways, i've been looking for about a month, wanted a Black with Auburn interior 6 speed 530i with less than 50k on it....Finally found one on ebay, its in Houston, had someone go check it out for me...ran carfax and autocheck and also got all BMW service records on it..all checks out and turns out the dealer has sold a couple of bimmers to people on bimmerfest and he is reputable. Just signed the paperwork today...now have to wait for my 04 530i with premuim and Cold weather package to arrive from Houston!
Bye bye to my IS300 and hello BMW (God Willing)
The only thing i would like to change on this car MIGHT be the Brushed Aluminum just on the dash and shifter part (but not on doors) and get wood trim instead! oh and ofcourse the Wheels.

Congrats tarek307,
Does have the extras you want and at least also electrical adjustments to the wheel.
Now you only need
- Chrome grills
- Euro reflectors
- 18 (or 19") wheels
Plus a good wash&wax.
Good luck!
