Third: If you're "new" to stick, then I wouldn't practice on a bimmer. I would think the damage done would be much more costly than damage done on a Ford or something like that.

Fourth: Are you currently in Hawaii? If so, MUST BE NICE !
Haha yeah, Carfax stated it was driven 3,234 miles/year. New shoes...as in rims? I've been learning with my dad. One the first day, I know what you meant by practicing on another car. But I've been keeping the transmission safe otherwise. And yes, I live in Hawaii, love it here

OP: check out stylin808 on the forum, look him up and he can help you with a lot of stuff.
I think the previous owner was a settled down doctor, probably too busy to cruise anyway. And alright, I will hit him up if I start on anything. Thanks!

Very nice acquisition! I felt very lucky finding my at-the-time-2-year-old 535xi with 8500 mi. And yours with MT! Congrats!
