My Ride: G30 M550i
Model Year: 2018
Joined 27 March, 2004 (lurked for a month or so before that) and took delivery of the car on 19 April, 2004. I placed the order for the car back in November of 2003 but due to the delay of Navigation, HUD, and SMG, I had to wait, and wait, and wait...

Seems like everyone reads about the car before and after their delivery... Of course!! Its such a great car, even before we get to drive it, we read about it, after we drive it, we read about it some more for more fun!! So how did everyone find out about the site... I found out through google, when I was looking for bluetooth compatability for my car... Then i got addicted!! I dono why I'm so addicted to this forum, I used to hate posting on forums and stuff but this one changed me entirely!! LOL....

My Ride: (USA) 645Ci, Silver Gray, Chateau, Cold Weather PKG, Premium Sound PKG, Sport PKG, Step, NAV [Std Equip in 645], HUD, Satellite (SIRIUS) Radio, Aux Input, Bluetooth enabled using iPhone 3GS w/ adapter cradle - Build date - 01/05, Baby delivered 2/24/05
Joined in June '04, and took delivery Feb '05. I was looking for places that would tell me when HUD would become available on my 6er as no one seemed to have the straight scoop and one of my searches led me here. Well I got my info here, and put off ordering until BMW allowed me to order w/HUD in Nov '04. In that intervening time I had so much fun and I probably learned too much as I was training CAs and SAs by the time I got my 6er
