Hi, this is my first post on the forum. I have ordered a new 520d Touring with auto, and a few extras. It's due for delivery in two or three weeks, but I can't wait and I'm spending all my available free time reading about BMW's, since this is my first, and I have already learnt alot of useful or essential stuff from this forum, thanks.
My wife can't understand my exitement or my obsessional reading about BMWs, but I get the feeling some of you can

to the forum, and hey, I fully understand what you are going through ! I had the same mindset when buying my first BMW in october 2006. My girlfriend didn't and for a part still doesn't understand my fanatic interest in BMW either
Guess it's a guys-thing
Greetings & enjoy your time here !
P.S.
Update your location and post some more details about your car & options. Always nice to know for your fellow members.

That's OK - you're on BMW Anonymous now.
The first step to recovery is to stand up, take a deep breath and admit it.
