Now with a little more free time I decided to post some photos I had stored on the PC.
It's just a normal car without major modifications, but it is a BMW
and just leave me :shock:
I bought the new car which made me even more thrilled and excited about his arrival, since it was my first Bimmer: D
The reason for the purchase of this car was because of the huge travel I make from Switzerland to Portugal so i need economic car with a lot of space: D
The first trip I made with it was this year and left me completely surrendered to the engine. Is not a 30d or 35d, is one 20d of 177hp but I am more than satisfied with the benefits of it.
I did Zurich - Vila Real 2000Km in 16H30 just stopped 1 time to fuel and check the condition of the tires.
The engine moded by Vilauto In portugal which became much more enjoyable to drive and much better in fuel economy, around 5.5L/100.
In Winter has 135 wheels with winter tires Pirelli Sotto Zero 245/40/18, In summer has the 167 with Michelin Pilot Sport 2 245/35/19 and 275/30/19.
On the trip always come at 160, except parts in France that had speed cameras. I thank the navigation system that indicate the speed cameras
2009-2, which were not few :scary
Disadvantages of car: So far nothing to aim
:wink1
NOW the machine.

beautiful car!!! and great pics!
I am astonished - despite the almost complete lack of mods, IMHO this is one of the cleanest and best looking cars i've seen here
do you have any spacers with these summer wheels? they fill up the fenders so well..
great choice on the interior as well - the black trim gives it a very balanced atmosphere in my view.
congrats also on the alpine pics - I also have quite a few of this type, just have to get some time to go trough them and post the best here

Thanks for your comment.
I don't have any spacers, Is only Wheels, Maybe the ET is different than the usual.
The suspension is original to keep the comfort, so NO Lowering
but Looks perfect

Excellent pics of a great looking E61.
And you do some serious driving! How often do you drive to and from Switzerland?
Post your route from Google Maps - I would be interested to see it.
