Coming home with Garehaan, finding his wife being in labour/having contractions on the sofa. So he and his wife rushed off to the hospital.
She delivered a sweet and beautifull baby-girl: Catho!!!!!
What a way to end a meet!!!!!!!!!!!

Your wife was very close to giving birth... congratulions you convinced your wife that you still could join the meet...
I think, in that stadium, my wife should give me house-arrest... Ok, it was a great meeting. I decided to leave my 530d at home, and to join my friend Sven in his 630i convertible because i prefer topless...
. Next time i join the meeting with my convertible...
The group was bigger, so it was nice to meet some new people. It really was fantastic that some members drove really far to join that meet. Really impressive!!!!
It was a great day. Thanks to xBMWx for the organisation.
Count me allready in for the next meet&greet...

I have to say that all guys and girls were wonderful Thank you all for those memorable moments 
I felt very sorry about what happened to 530da, hope things are ok now and it was just only the turbo, it was very inpressive how you smoked the whole autobahn
just joking, 530da is a great guy indeed, we had some conversation just before it happened
Here is my contribution of photos

I still can't get over the attention to detail on your ride and just how much difference those mods make to the look of the car
Oh, and I absolutely loved that super-sprint exhaust sound 
p.s. I like the pics of that girl, but not so sure about the pic with the man in the green top

Happy B-day!!!!
Lets us know what you got...... I am curious myself (and pics please)
Lets us know what you got...... I am curious myself (and pics please)
Let me just inderline a few facts at first:
- it comes directly from BMW in Munich;
- it was ordered special online; (BMW individual perhaps...?)
- it came neatly packaged in the BMW original box, foams, with holograms, etc (as it is official collectible article, not a chinese toy...)
- it is fully equipped version (as you can all imgaine)
- it has my (current) favorite color combo on it
- 19" wheels
- quad exhaust (my favorite!)
- 507 hp heart
- the only thing which was missing was the customary red carpet when you get to pick up one at the dealership....
Well, I got mine by DHL, so the carpet was out of question anyway... :thumbsdown:
And for all of those still in doubt that it is real: YES IT IS M5
OK, maybe little bit in a scale, bit still: M5 is always M5, nope? no matter the scale...
And yes: it was a BIG STEP up for me (coming from 163hp 520d directly to 507hp M5.... but, who cares!
OK, just few pictures of the proud owner:
time for .... mods....?

I'm impressed Jarek -- you're girl got you an M5 I'm expecting you to bring that to the next meet
My darling wife redeemed herself today, her gift was an iPod Nano for my car's USB-iPod connector
Slowly but surely we're training them to be fully fledged E60.NET hedonists!!
