My Ride: BMW 530i Executive Sedan

Hello all,

I'm new here but already familiar with this forum for some weeks now and its really the best site to get info. on our type of cars.

Just want to let you know that i am getting my second e60 now since my wife had an accident with my first 530i which i got in May 2003. Fortunately my wife is okay but the car shrunk a couple of centimeters...
I will get the new car on January 4th and upload photos as soon as i have them and you will see me a lot more now on this forum.

Ps. I do fit the prototype 'Dutch E60' driver since our second car is a Mini cooper

Cheers
Arnold

Welcome Arnold! Glad to hear your wife is alright. Don't ever let her damage your new baby again.

The E60 was officially released July 5th, 2003. I don't know how your dealer managed to get one before that date...

I try to not let my wife touch my car. No respect. She will drive my cars to the mall and just park as close as she can. I park as far away as possible. She cannot fathom the concept of taking care of a car.
