Yes Steve, it is possible.

I had a 320d (E90) loaner for a couple days and now that I have my E60 back... I simply love it just as day 1.

I've been driving the CSL whilst the 535d was in the garage during most of December and early January, getting its manifold replaced (for the 2nd time! am i driving it too hard?

).

Whilst the CSL is great, getting back into the 535d just made me fall in love with it over again - I love this car!

For 2008 season I plan to strip all the weight out and leave it at the Nurburgring as my wet weather weapon of choice - nothing will get past it

I need help to fall in love again. After only 9 Months, I tested an E46 M3 and was blown away. However as I have more torque (Re-Map to 590Nm, 272Hp), the motorway blasts 60 upwards felt as quick in the E60 and a lot more comfy. I even did the full Autoglym polish and protect for 6 hours at the weekend. She looks very nice but I have a difficult wife who says the E60 is too big. She has a point, I have hassle getting 2 cars on my drive and it won't fit in the garage (1970's small one)

Get a 3 series she said, so I retalliated and looked at a coupe M3. Big enough

but far from comfy and only 15 mpg

Will loose a shed load trading in after 9 Months

Help my wife fall in love with the E60 please

hey Steve, good to hear from you again

so what will replace the 535d in Scotland if it will be stripped down and ready at the Ring at 2008...?

hope to see you in just a few months again at the Ring

guess what we talk about with Tim

Hey Peter

See my other thread for the 535d replacement, I'll bring it over to the ring sometime this year.

I'm waiting for BMW to build stronger manifolds before I get a 535d ring wet weather car, and hopefully the new gearbox is stronger as well!

See you soon

Cheers
Steve
