My Ride: 2007 M6 Coupe
Sapphire Black/Black Merino
Loaded
FWIW: I just took mine out of my X5. I rarely used it, maybe 6 months old in perfect condition. If interested, PM me and we'll work something out. (I'm up in Vta County)

My Ride: 2010 VW Passat Wagon 2.0l Tsi
Grey/Grey Budapest 18"
Lost to HPFP issues:
08 535i sport pkg
Lost to Dreaded E61 Sun roof leaks:
07 E61 530Xi
A quick note! As me and several other LCI 535i owners have found out, the wiring in the LCI 535i is NOT the same as the previous E60's, contrary to what every one says. The wiring in the sun roof / rain sensor/ auto dimming mirror is different than all the picts posted in the fourms. The infamous "mostly Green with yellow striping" wire is not found on NEWER 535i's. There is now a 50/50 green yellow powered line (12-13.5 v I belive) going to the sun roof, but if you tap it for the radar detector it causes a sun roof trap warning with idrive.... Just letting you know before you try to hard wire it.....
Not all 535i's have this problem, it just seems that many do that were produced since Dec/ Jan time frame.
I just used the 12v power adapter in the passenger side foot well and ran the power line up threw the A pilar and in to the head liner and down the grommet of the rear view mirror. The 12v adaper in the passenger side footwell is in a spot where the passengers feet ( unless the passenger is the Big Show or Shaq) will not hit it or their legs either.
for the V1 , Have had one since my E30 back in 1990, would not switch to any thing else ( have tried other ones)
