My Ride: 2007 530i Sport Alpine White, winter package, comfort access, bluetooth, Satellite radio, tinted windows, Michelin Pilot Sports PS2s
Hello to everyone.....
I have been a lurker for a week or so. My 2003 530i got totalled in a rear end collision. Now I just bought a CPO 2007 530i with the Sport Package to replace it. I have a new love! The car is great and I am hoping to enjoy it for a long time if I can ever get it back from my wife.

I too have had both an E39 and an E60 (both V8s in my case). They are both great cars although very different cars. Use the E60 well and

Thanks everyone for the nice welcomes. I hope to post pics soon. I already used the board to reset the learning mode of the car since it is an automatic.
