Anyone had any dealings with them?
Certainly have. They're my "local" $tealers. Never had an issue with them.

hi guys ...
have been on here since 2005 .. finally we have a UK sub-forum.

my cars, since being on here, have been a 2003 545i, which got traded in for a '57 plate M5 .. both have been fantastic cars .. but the M is by far and away the best car i've ever owned.

p.s. I'm from Essex
p.p.s. links to my galleries in my sig
p.p.p.s. you may also have seen my car (and me) in the November issue of BMW Car Magazine (just off the shelves now as the Dec issue just replaced it).

i'm a mate of Pingy, i used to live in Kent and London
we luv our E60's out here.
the best thing here is the short commute to work, nice weather and you can have a meet quickly,
the bad thing is that the cars and parking cost a bomb,we would be running ferraris back in the UK for what we are being shafted with here.Furthermore not all paintshops and mechanics are to the UK standard,
there are too many cowboys.
more pics please!!

Sagar, you had any luck with the pro nav retrofit?
I've Spoke to Dr dave about sourcing me a unit, hoping to purchase and fit the kit end of Dec/Jan as its going in for some OEM Intergration in March to run my audio Setup.
Do you have the Pro nav, or doing a retrofit?

Want to get the exterior sorted 1st, Just bought some LCI Rears and in the process of getting some Springs, Spacers & Trunk finisher.

Finally we have a sub-forum for the UK
Same as Bill and Pinguhk, i used to live in Guildford Surrey and now back to HK

The sub-forum has made me, Bill and pingy becomes a good friend and we always come out for drinks/dinner and talk about cars and girls)
I think its a great opportunity to gather up all E60 lovers in the UK and hope to see some e60 meets in the near future
