My Ride: 2006 525XI silver/grey
I would like to say hello to all on the forum from Connecticut. I am now the proud owner of my sister 2006 525Xi with 57K miles. I have been reading the forum for 2 months now in preparation of ownership and just put the plates on last Thursday.
The car drives like a your on a blanket and the front end is tight as I noticed the suspension bar across the engine. I look forward to reading and posting my own experiences as I'm quite the DYI kind of guy and like to share my own maintenance experiences.
I also look forward to meeting other owners at planned meetings. So, I'll be watching the meeting event calendar for local outings.
