Hi,

Thanks to so many of you for your very informative posts about e60/e61 related stuff over past 4 months while I waited for my ride.
My waiting ended yesterday... and now I like it very much.

btw. someone mentioned new button label for DSC -> DTC, this my case too and this reminds me, what technically (in detail) this DTC mode does... any locks in rear wheels or similar ??

Do you have tinted windows in it? It looks pretty nice.

I thought they changed the rimms for the 525 for 2005.

Welcome Petri, beautiful car. I wish the E61 was available here when I purchased my E60. I would have bought another touring in a heartbeat had it been available.

I think those may be euro rims with snow tires. In europe, they have the option of ordering rims a la carte whereas here in NA we get no choice at all.

Thanks guys,

No I don't have tinted windows, and yes in Europe those rims are 16'' in standard still MY2005 One thing what bothers me is chrome window frames which are not optional here in Finland...

Just came out having some snow and bad winter weather... car is really rock solid... and DSC works really smoothly...

welcome petri!

good luck with your car! i've had my E61 for two months now, it's a wounderful car!

it sounds strange that shadowline (de-chromed) not is availible in Finland. I live in Sweden and I ordered it.
