New guy here, been sneeking around for about 1/2 a month now. Thought its time to introduce myself.
I picked up my 07 530i on 12/28/06 from an auto broker in Monterey Park, CA. My car's breakdown is Alpine White, Black Dakota Leather, Premium, Sport, Auto, and Navi. Wish there was heated seats and the parktronic too, but it is what it is. Coming from a moderately modded W203, 01 Mercedes C320 (rims, lowered, and lighting) I hope I dont give into modding this car too (tho there are some bad ass E60s on this forum that are tempting me). Who knows, maybe this one will be lowered with wheels some day.
Anyhow, thank you all in advance for the tips and advice. Wish everyone the best for the new year.
