My Ride: 03 VW Jetta GLS Wagon, 06 530xi
Default First time *Bimmer owner!

Hello everybody I recently bought (parent's money ) a used '06 530xi with a 100k on the dash. This is my second car (first one was a 03 VW Jetta wagon ) and a upgrade to say the least. Still have to pick it up in South Florida, will be flying down this week and will get to know my bimmer on the 700 mile trip back to GA haha.
Thanks and look forward to getting to know everyone!!

Welcome to the forum. Just so you know, a "Beamer" is a BMW motorcycle and a "Bimmer" is what you bought. You're a newbie, so we'll forgive you this time. Post some pics when you get the car!

$6000 for an '06 with 100,000 miles IS a good deal! Is there anything wrong with it?

There is rubber cracking from the outside rear window but overall it looks fine. The original owner is a friend of my mom and was gonna trade in her car in to the dealer who offered 6k but my mom offered the same and here we are lol

Come to think of it, I think the bike is spelled "Beemer".
