My Ride: Bmw E60 530xi manual
Greetings from Estonia! New member with E60 manual
Hello!
First of all a few words about myself and my car history. Currently studying law and working as a lawyer in Tartu, Estonia. Most probably you will not know much about the town, but it is a nice university city with friendly people.
I have had many cars starting with my fist car, which was a e39 535iA. As fas as BMW-s, i have also owned a e39 525iA M-sport, e46 330DA M-sport, e90 325iA and a few sportier cars: Seat Leon Cupra R and last winter a rare Subaru Impreza WRX STI Type-R (completly modded - 3" exhaust, gems ecu, bigger turbo etc).
I really like the driving abilitest of a BMW, but i have always missed the oomf of the faster casr, when driving a slower automatic.. Therefore i decided to combine the two worlds, and bought, i believe a quite rare, 2008 E60 530xi LCI manual.
The 200kw (272hp) engine is quite powerful, but of course nothing compared to the Subaru - i guess the STI ruined me
The car has loads of options, but i really miss having a heated seats, because in Estonia the winter can get frosty. In january/febrary the temperature is often in the -15c to -25c.
Some of the equipment that is worth mentioning: Comfort seats, HUD, Electric sunroof, Navi Business, Bluetooth, Comfort Access etc.
The car is bought new from Brussels, Belgium and imported to Estonia in 12/2014.
But enough talk, some videos and pics of the car
Sorry, the car is drity, but as you can see the weather is terrible right now. Will make some nice pics soon.
Cheers,
Karl
