Just a few pics from a member, finally got a photobucket account. '09 M Sport package, bought new Feb 09 23,000k on the clock, new HPFP at 1,200 miles and at 23,000 miles (last week) Other than that pretty trouble free and VERY enjoyable.
Replaced my '03 X5 with 116,000 miles

Sure, If I remember correctly, probably a couple grand off list and I did take advantage of .9% BMW financing.

on board and enjoy the forums!

The car looks great

Any plans to mod it?
Putting the Sports-Auto shifter in, which will give you the Sports-Auto functions, could be a nice one with your twin turbo I6.

Enjoy!

My Ride: 2007 530xiT: CPO purchase in 2008, used by a BMW exec previously, and like-new when I got it. Compared to my other cars, at first I thought it felt heavy and steering was too heavy. Now, I really enjoy driving it in town and on the freeway. On my

Nah, no plans to mod it at all, well I did replace the runflats after 1200mi, couldn't stand the harshness. I also got a spare tire and jack kit and a new fiberboard liner they fit into so the car looks factory fresh.
The performance is more than adequate and the comfort perfect for me. Hard to keep the speed down though on long trips. This is mostly my bad weather car and utility vehicle. It doesn't get much use in the summer.
Oh yeah, I hardwired a V1 into the headliner and have it on the passenger visor with the supplied clip.
