My Ride: 530D M Sport Auto. Carbon Black with Beige Leather
Default

Just a quick hello to all on what appears to be a fantastic forum..!

I'm UK based and whilst browsing the forum yesterday I found lots of useful information, tips and tricks. I've had a few BMW's in my time and no doubt some of my experiences will help out others on this forum.

I'll post some pics of my new motor later - 530D M Sport Auto - Carbon Black with Beige Leather.

Bye for Now

Welcome aboard!

It'd help if you put UK in the location field in your profile, so that others know where you are. As you probably know the cars are country spec.

Welcome,
And yes, your location is always regarded here. Although, your model is not available (yet) in the US, it's interesting to know or imagine in what kind of terrain and weather you drive.

Cheers,
