Default first time BMW owner in Lexington

Hello people,
I am in the process of buying a 2008 535i from a dealership. This will be my first BMW. I also currently own a 2000 Camaro SS and my wife has a 2009 Jetta TDI. I work at a Subaru dealership and was pretty set on buying an STi, but my wife's dad is a BMW enthusiast and told me to check out the E60 535i. When I compared the features and mechanicals to the STi, and added the fact that the BMW was literally half the price, it was really a no brainer. Looking forward to learning more about these cars and start off with some mods!

More about the car I'm getting...it's a 2008 Platinum Grey Metallic 535i with grey leather interior, manual transmission, Sport Package, and a few other nice features. Here are some pictures from the dealership!

The pictures are kinda blurry but they're the best I've got for now. Hopefully within a couple weeks I'll have the car at home and can put up some better ones!

to the forum! I think you're gonna find that your Bimmer will be in a different class from the Jetta and Camaro, or even the STi for that matter. It will be interesting to hear your comments after you actually take possession, so please let us know.
