Greetings from new 535 owner!
 

Hello All!
New member here, introducing myself and my car.

I recently was lucky enough to find another member who was considering selling a nicely maintained and relativity low mileage E61. I had been looking for a new wagon for a few months and after losing out on 2 cars it was a lucky break. Two weeks ago I took possession: a 2008 535Xi Touring with a rare 6-speed.

I reluctantly accepted my asking price for my beloved 2001 325Xi Touring 5-speed...which found a fantastic home ( https://instagram.com/matt_tierney53...d=h13lpandj6vp ) and started getting to know my new E61.

I can't believe how customizable the car is. It took me two weeks to figure out all the function and take a first pass at coding my preferences.

Now with new Sumitomo summer tires mounted(bye bye runflats), new coils and MHD stage 1 tune(after acquiring a dirt cheap Android tablet), I am settling into 5-series Nirvana!

Beautiful car! Great color combination. :welcome: to the forum!

Really nice car, I like the blue/beige personally myself. I also recently acquired a new to me E61 (try this again). Pictures forthcoming and a little write up
