sooner or later, not something you give up easily, especially when there's another 80-100hp lurking in there.

If you don't have a preferred shop already, you should check out SonicMS in Mountain View (on El Camino between Shoreline and Castro). They've done a lot of mods for local E60 owners.

Hello to the board, i picked up my new 08 535i / 6 speed manual last thurday. space gray, gray interior, sport, premium and nav. Installed sirius and the ipod adapter.
Car was ordered euro delivery, the purchaser went to pick it up and was shocked to see a manual gearbox. The dealer bought it back from them and i came across it on the showroom when my e39 m5 was in for service. I've been quite active on the m5board with my e39, and hope to do the same here. have found lots of good info already.
couple of cell phone pics courtesy of my 12 year old son who was with me when i picked it up.
