Well, since the first time I met Dennis, I had not received my car yet - this time
around however our E60's come together. 530i and 545i !!
It was a meet with the Mrs. as well...so no in depth comparisons - but neverthless
fun ( as usual ). I was driving behind Dennis at some stage...our E60 looks just magnificent
...it must be quite an experience for others on the road going passed this piece of art
you somehow see your car more critically when looking at another one
on the raod...must be great when at least 10 cars come together - it must be quite a sight. Too bad I am working on the 27th. Nov meet
Hope we can have one in Dec. A " winter meet" 
to compare winter wheels/tyres setups etc.!!
After this mini meet I have accumulated 1000km..revving variably up to 4000rpm now. 1000km more and it's showtime baby!!!!
I started using now more of DS mode....just amazing acceleration, albeit to 4000rpm, but still impressive!! I noticed when slowing down it shifts downwards as well in a more sporty fashion....absolutely sublime!!!
Everything else is still going great ( touch wood ) - no problems to mention...
......................
Good seeing you and Marie again Dennis..!!

We had a great time together (again )... Thanks for bringing the 2005-1 dvd for my nav Andreas.. It works perfectly!!
I didn't notice the jacket/interior combo.. Very nice observation JDN!!
I hope Andy can meet up with a larger group soon.. We always have a nice time!
Hey Andreas, Have been checking out the Dubai trips at the website you showed me... Man I really want to go there.. Maybe next year in the down season!
Thanks for the nice gifts (I got two nice drinkingcups from the Olympic games in Athens!!)
Next time we'll visit you in Maastricht again (and maybe go to Monschau!)
