My Ride: 2010 535 Xit
Hello Gents - new (to me) 2010 E61
Hello from Ann Arbor, MI. I have spent a little bit of time on Bimmer Forums when I owned a 2010 E60 528 x-drive that I sold when I moved to Chicago (didn't need a car). Fast forward and I know have a family and I always wanted my car back so I recently purchased a 2010 E61 from Tennessee and had it shipped up here (sight unseen - terrible / great idea ) So a bigger car with more problems but much better seats and engine !!
I have had it almost a month and haven't driven it as I nurse it back to health. Oil change and new expansion tank. Then I had the turbos done under the extended warranty, 8 years or 82K. Now my ride is presently at an indy shop getting the valve cover and oil filter housing gaskets done.
Looking forward to getting it home!

Your e61
Hi Spartan79,
I just joined this site today and after reading your post I needed to respond.
I am in Michigan as well and in April I drove to Tennessee to buy that car from Martin Motors after many conversations with them about how great the car was.
I walked away from that car so fast and am sorry you did not as well. I felt it needed more repairs and money than I was willing to put in to it. It does have a very nice color combination and after you do the repairs I am sure it will be a great wagon for you!
Go Green Go White!!
