Hello All,

Just purchased my new 2008 535i. I'm loving it so far. How's anyone else finding their experiences with the 535?

I think you'll find that pretty much everyone else with a 535i hates it and wishes they'd have either sprung for the 550i or a Lexus instead...

Welcome to the forums and enjoy your new toy!

...gotta love that guy . I have a 530 MY05 and hoping to mod it soon. This forum is great and invaluable (plus spell check) for meeting with the masses of BMW owners both tall and short, fat and thin, Mods and no Mods. Have fun.

Dennis in Cali.

Thanks guys both for the welcome. On the 530i, are you going to get some work done at Dinan? Or are there is there a lot more BMW aftermarket stuff available than just them?

Also, I want to autocross mine (when the temperature rises above 32 degrees here). Does anyone stage BMW only autocrosses?

Let me know.

Welcome! Bought my 535i in Sept and absolutely love it. The power that the I6 can produce is amazing and to be able to get 30 mpg on the highway is a huge bonus!

BTW - start gathering a few bucks - you will start modding after you see the amazing cars the members have.
