My Ride: E60 530d Sport - Carbon Black, Black Dakota Leather, Media Pack (satnav, bluetooth, CD changer), heated font seats, through load

I met up with a few E60 owners yesterday. Flowerfred, kigerka, ULtraPLanet, and myself.

What happened to all the English people? None turned up! I was hoping to have a lineup of about 4 Carbonblack Sport cars.

Anyway we had a nice time. Thanks to Flowerfred for arranging the day. Lunch was great. Very enjoyable to meet others, and their partners.

I'm looking forward to a trip to the ring in summer, which should be better attended. And I promise to make my car shiny for that trip too.

Having a US spec and UK spec car next to each other must be quite a rare event. It certainly was nice to look over a car that's not quite the same as mine. Oddly, a mirror image of mine.

Unfortunately I now wish I hadn't looked at the HUD in the 530i. It is NICE! Wish I could have had that.

Great times it was.l I really enjoyed going to a local British pub. It was unlike the other times I was at the UK. I do hope to do it again sometime.

Great pictures! Sounds like the meet, though small, was fun. Wish I could have made it, but we didn't get back into London until 6:30 that evening. Oh well, maybe next go around...
