seem to be a number of members with problems so I though I'd re-dress the balance to ensure that any casual forum observers don't get the wrong message.
I STILL LOVE MINE after 3 months of ownership
Any members care to add a little positive contribution please go ahead.

BTW - given that there are so few E60's on the road I've noticed that when you do come across one there is kind of a discrete "respect". Drove side by side with a metallic brown example down a two lane highway - I was on the inside, doing 40mph, L7 working it's magic, and he hung back for a while to take in "my" curves then pulled alongside and stuck there for a while - kinda nice

I'm in in belgium once a month at least (my dad lives there, parents in law have a second home there and I have business there).
I'll keep you posted when I am there and would love to meet you. Untill now my meets with Flowerfred and Andy545 have been very positive and loads of fun. We'll keep in touch about it!

My Ride: #1: 2004 545i; 6-speed manual; Sport Package; Mystic Blue with a gray leather interior and Anthracite wood; CWP; Logic 7.
#2: 2010 535xi Touring; Automatic.
I love mine. I'd buy another. My wife keeps telling people I'll get an M5 and give her my 545i. She's hoping.
I will push her to get the 5-Series wagon when she's tired of her old car, maybe next year. It would look weird to have two nearly-identical cars in my garage; but this is one way to get my TWO favorite colors, without having to make that difficult choice!

Great stuff, loving mine to bits.
Yesterday I saw a beautiful black 545i in our village - it looked amazing (545i's are pretty rare in the UK).
Jonboy you're a lucky lad, still getting a 997?
