Hey all - as a newbie to the forum I'd like to say many thanks for the advice so far, and congratulations on your choice of car - these E60 are simply amazing! I thought it might be neat to do a sort of "who's who" (if it's not already been done). You may think it's lame, but hey 
Here are my details:
Name: shi!
Age: 27
Occupation: UNIX monkey
Location: Wales, UK (baaa!)
E60/61: 2005 530d sport auto, oxford green / beige leather / black maple / nav pro / bluetooth /
Other cars currently owned: 2001 Ford Fiesta 1.1, 1985 Renault 5 GTL
What are your stats?
cheers

Welcome.
I think you are the first to have Oxford Green and M Sports Pack.
Sounds like you have an interesting interior colour combo.
Please post some interior pics soon.

[/quote]Thanks! It was a brave choice, but it just works so well
Here's an interior shot (before my mats turned up, I went for anthracite, beige would get too dirty!)
Glad you like the colour!

Nice looking car!? Did you get the removable rear seats and sheep carrier kit with it?? I heard they were standard gear in Wales.

The exterior colour is quite stealthy up against the mountains, but the interior will get scratched by the hoofs
