Hi All,

First post here so it will be brief.

Thank you in advance for having me and helping me learn about this wonderful car.

I have purchased a MY 05 530i with 74,000km in very nice condition. It has a full BMW service history and is a base model (i think).

This is a nice inroduction to this car and already i have plans for the next one which will have more options, more power and more mods.... Not saying i am disappointed, just greedy for more.

This forum has already improved my driving as i did the transmission reset and it is like a new car all over again.

Thanks again.

thanks for the welcomes and comments guys...... yes it is Olivine not my favourite colour but better than the dark colours, easier to keep clean and cool during summer.

CONGRATS!

Your car looks amazing.

Love to see some clean E60's since that's a rare sight in Denmark at the moment (winter with subzero temps and rain mixed with snow).
