Hello All, coming from Honda's and Toyota's finally made to move over to a BMW 08 Platinum 535i with sp/pr pkg and paddle shifters. I love the car it has amazing power which is why I chose it over the E350. Looking forward to all your help and suggestions

Congrats on the new to you ride!
Please use the search button (or even a simple google search) and do a little research to educate yourself on the 535 twin turbos and hpfp (high pressure fuel pump)problems. Hopefully you are within the minority that don't have problems with that. Just wanted to make you aware of that problem and how to best protect yourself, that's all.
Besides that, sit back, put your foot on the gas, and enjoy the ride.

Agreed on all accounts.
To start things off, this guy is selling his slightly used JB2 for 250.
