My Ride: the family sedan...
Default

Hi all - just picked up an 05 530i, manual, titanium silver. I love how quiet the car is and the fact that I'm getting 27mpg on the freeway. I'm debating what to do with it as you all know, mods can be a serious habit.

anyways, just thought I'd say hello. i've learned a lot already on this forum and I look forward to learning/sharing even more.

thanks, i'll see if i can make it, however that's kinda deep for me. You E60 guys ever consider having meets at that famous wings place in D-town, on the corner of San Ramon Valley and Dublin Blvd? The Audizine B5/B6 guys met there all the time...
