This forum has been a great resource of information for my beloved E60. I enjoyed all of the great quips, banter and just plain exuberance of the group here.
I made a financial decision not to take advantage of the good 2009 lease rates and so I am handing in my O7 530. I love the feel and plain fun it provided for the last 3 years. This will be the first time I won't have a 5er in my garage in over 10 years.
The organization I work for provides company vehicles for it's field employees and the option of driving a Saturn Vue was too hard to resist.
Maybe over the summer I'll get something fun for the garage, a 993 (my favorite car) or a 1 series.
I know I am going to take advantage of the launch control on SMG a few more times before the end of May.

Thanks to all for all of the support with my 5.
Cheers all

BTW, I have a set of 4 17'' OEM BMW 122 wheels with snows and TPMs I just removed for the last time. Tread has a couple more seasons left.
PM me is anyone is interested.

How many 5 Series cars did you have during that time? Which models were they?
