I Everyone
I'm from Carcavelos, Portugal and i just received my alpine white 530d
It's not a new car. It was bought in Germany on a official bmw dealer.
I found the car trough the website www.bmw.de in the premium selection used cars search page
The car is in perfect conditions and i have 1 year of official warranty from BMW, so i think i'm safe from having surprises.
Here are just 2 pictures i took on the night i received the car
It's very rare to see a white E60 here in Portugal
Until now i only saw 1 in Lisbon
In the future i'm thinking on installing the kit M and some new wheels, probably the M5 ones

What company did the remapping?
www.hartge.de has some "official supported" remappings from what i read on some forums they don't void the bmw waranty
Here in Portugal there is also some good companies doing remappings, but for now i'm still learning to control the 218HP and 500NM of my 2004 version

e parabens Realmente e raro ver carros brancos de alta gama em Portugal mas eu acho que fizeste uma boa escolha pois aqui nos Estados Unidos e uma cor muito usada e na minha opiniao uma das cores que fica muito bem no E60.
Quanto as modificacoes o Kit M e as jantes 166 e uma excellente escolha.

I've just updated my profile with a new gallery from my road trip at the end of 2007
Almost 3000 Km made in 4 days (29 December 2007 at 6:30 AM until 2 January 2008 at 2:00 AM when we i reached my home again)
2000 on highway with speeds around 90 MPH
The rest was on mountain roads at slower speeds
Enjoy the pictures
