I hate to say it was the first one I test drove, but after weeks of searching I knew she was the one. One owner, local car, extremely well maintained from the BMW dealership where I purchased. Was put through shop and all.... so here it is and will soon have pics to follow
2006 530xi
90k miles
metallic black with gray interior
sport/cold weather package
heads up display
active cruise control
These are all the features the guy sold me on. (except the miles of course) I'm assuming the innovative idrive and the logic 7 are standard
That drive home from Devon Hill BMW in Pa was one to remember!
Car is so tight, color combo is so plush...I just have 2 questions. I don't have the manual yet.
1)how do you increase the volume in nav? can't find it in nav settings
2)where the heck is the button to adjust the neck restraints?

Welcome 
Sounds like a great car you picked up. For the nav - and the bluetooth pairing - you can adjust the volume with the knob or the steering wheel controls. On the nav you can only adjust the volume as she is speaking though. The neck restraint button is on the side of the seat with the other controls - there's a slide switch that goes up and down. Idrive is standard but logic 7 is an option.

My Ride: 2004 BMW E60 530i, upgrades: Magnaflow exhaust, Mtec angel eyes and low beam head lights, Just purchased 172 style wheels, looking around for the best tires on Tire Rack now. R1 concepts rotors drilled/slotted. Saving for the M-style kit from Trinity Auto.

I take my 2004 530i for service sometimes, live in Drexel Hill, good luck with your new wheels, modifying mine slowly to a sporty 550i look. New rotors going on tomorrow then 19" wheels and new tires going on Saturday
