BTW! Tommi, I think I saw your car some two weeks ago in Herttoniemi (Starkki). Must have been yours, as there is not so many white E61's around here.
Looked very nice!
I know there isn't many Alpine Whites around, except one taxi as Vesil knew. I have been in Herttoniemi quite often, so you propably saw mine

Hi All,

Many thanks for kind wishes and congrats!

I finally received my first BMW It was about two and a half hours drive back home and I enjoyed it. I have winter tires (Hakka 5) on as we're going to drive for skiing holiday next week. It would have been more convenient with summer tires as spring is coming, but I think I will need studs in Lapland. It will be about 900 km drive there; some decent test-drive.


Here's some specs: 2008 E61 520dA Deep Sea Blue, Business Pack, Sport Steering Wheel, Ski Bag, Isofix on front seat, 244 Rims for summer and winter. Not too many opts for my first one.

I try to attach pics, hope it works. Better one's coming later

And Vesil, it's my own car. Any suggestions for modifications are welcome.

Really nice color! Congrats once again.

Business pack in Finland means Xenon, PDC, 17" wheels and extended air-con . I think package has all essentials and good that it's available also for private customers.

I was a bit joking with modifications, but here you go

Replace black grilles (kidneys) with chrome version. 520d is nowadays the only version without chrome.
