My Ride: 2008 BMW 535i with just about every option- Space Gray/Black/Bamboo Wood/OEM M6 Wheels
Wow I just drove all over town just to drive my car, it is soo much fun, the Sport Auto is 1000x smoother than my SMG ever was in my M3, even when you shift yourself it feels like a regular automatic, you dont feel anything, and after you shift the car keeps pulling. I had to keep hitting the brakes because the car wants more and more....Its awesome, I had an M3 Convertible for 4 years, and I wont miss it with anymore after getting the 535i. Its so quick! When you put it in Manual Mode, and activate the 'SPORT' Button, and use the paddles it is sooo much fun! I cant describe it in words..... Glad I waited.

It's been said before, but congrats and nice wheels! They really are the best-looking wheels on the E60 - even better than the Alpinas! Only just...
