Hey everyone. I'm a new BMW owner. After lots of research, I decided to purchase a 2007 525i. The car has about 30000 miles on the clock, was a 1 owner car from the south. This car is in great condition, few road chips/scratches, but nothing I can't live with. I got a fantastic deal, plus it's under factory warranty until 2011. It took me a long time to find the car I wanted (Black metallic, black comfort seats, 6M, less-powerful engine, and sport, quite the criteria!)
Let me know your impressions and thoughts. The only mods I have for the future is some type of streamlined GPS mount, the rear red reflectors, and possibly a rear sunshade. I've been a BMW enthusiast minus the BMW since I could talk, so impressed with this car and how it drives. I'm in heaven!
Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

I just picked up my first E60 a few weeks back.
