Just noticed that I joined e60.net 1 year ago today. It has definitely been an amazing year for me. My first BMW/e60 and the best thing that could happen did, I became a dad. I've shared both of those experiences with e60.net 
. I've learned a lot, laughed a whole lot, and managed to spend some $$$ (luckily just some 
)...all thanx to this great forum. I've met some great people on here and continue to do so. Owning and driving a BMW is an awesome thing, but having this forum to chat about our e60's makes the ultimate driving machine even that much better to own.
A quick thank you to the admins: Lomag and Das for creating such an awesome forum. Also to mod team, Rudy and Iceman for keeping it running smooth.

Gene, Gene, Gene, what does one say about Gene?? 
You're a Freakin' Post Whore (DUH!), a wealth of E60 knowledge (especially link to threads) and an all-around great guy!! Glad to be a part of your eventful year, sorry for SOME of the sarcasm (Did we EVER definitively figure out who the Father was?). I suppose I'll just have to live with the disappointment of you missing the 7,000 post count I could have earned some Mod money, (BTW guys, who had 6,843 in the pool???). 
Continued health, happiness and dispersal of BMW knowledge my friend!
