My Ride: 02" Porsche Carrera 911
So, i bought this 04" 530i from E-BAY, a reputable seller from Houston, but i was still so worried about it, had someone from Bimmerfest go check it out for me and all checked out, ran carfax and auto check and BMW report...but i was still so worried! This deal has been going on for about a month! Finally GOT IT TODAY, it arrived on the Transport this afternoon, I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW BEAUTIFUL THE INTERIOR COMBO IS! i was worried that its Auburn with the Brushed Aluminium, i wanted Wood, but after seeing it in person...my God..Then i drove it and maaaaaaaaaan, my first time driving a newer 5-series..its AMAZING, the 6-Speed Manual is so responsive..i am so ecstatic i can't even describe it!! I couldn't take pics because by the time i got it home it was dark, but took a couple of pics while it arrived on the transport! Will take more pics tomorrow!

My Ride: 2008 M5 -- Exterior: Silverstone, Interior: Black. Fully Loaded. That just about sums it up! :-)
Congratulations! Always tough to describe to someone the "joy of driving a BMW"! 
Easier to just have them get behind the wheel of one and have them experience goodness first hand.

My Ride: 2004 530i, Mysthic Blue, built June 2004, Cream Leather Interior, Dark Woodgrain Dash,
Off e-bay, man U have the heart of a lion, the trust of a priest, the belief of the EU. Thats the maddest thing I have ever heard, I had to look at mine with a fine tooth comb, before I bought it, I just wanted to hug it when I 1st sat in it, and I knew it was going to be mine.
Thats just mad, Ive had my 530i, 2004 model now for 2 months, like you I went hunting, I just thought it was the most absorbing car I had every seen and I was patient to get one. I bought mine off the Danish Consultant here in Sydney/Australia.
It just the amazing driving time you will ever have, I cant believe how firm and solid it feels on the road, it jsut bites when u bush it. The other thing is when your friends drive it, they cant believe it either !
I got new tyres and they r the standard size, nothing special or over the edge, just good quality - FAULKENS and thats all it needs.
Just wait to you start to "feel it" into the corners and turn the wheel and point the car into corners, then u will just have a smile from ear-2-ear. Zippy when reved up and got moving, it starts to launch !
Tell us the colour and Im interested to understand the Interion aluminum finish, I have the cream tan interior with dark maple timber inserts and I just think its very stylish and effective.
Enjoy, make all your roads with purpose and keep the 530i tight and in sight.
