Well, I had an E60 530i SE back in 2006 for a year, then sold it, and replaced it with a VW Touareg (V10) for 3 months, then got a E90 330i M-Sport in September 2007.
I was getting itchy feet, 22months in, and it's the longest I've ever owned a car. Fancied an E60 again, and started hunting around....missed out on a couple, but 3rd time lucky I found this, and put a deposit on it. Collect on Friday, can't want :-)
My 11th BMW :-)
Decided to be "slightly" sensible, and have gone for a Carbon Black 2007 LCI "57" plate car. (I was looking at new to start off with).
However, not so sensible with options I found on this model....
BMW Platinum Individual Interior
Piano Black Trim
Sports Auto Transmission
Media Pack (Bluetooth, Voice, Pro-Nav, CD Changer)
Visibility Pack (Adaptive Xenons)
TV function
USB
Comfort Seats (Dr + Pass Memory)
Active Seats
Front + Rear Seat Heating
Folding Auto-Dimming Ext. Mirrors
Electric Glass Sunroof
Alacantara Headlining
Hi-Fi Logic 7 Sound System
19" M-Wheels Style 172
Steering Wheel Paddles
Lane Departure Warning System
Through loading

That looks beautiful. 
That thing must be a monster pulling away from a stop light or coming out of a low speed corner. That motor has serious torque.

Yeah, it's pretty serious.
Mods...not sure....has everything I want on it already, don't have to mess around retrofitting Bluetooth and stuff like last time.
Will see if I get any ideas??
