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:

[/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
