Hi, for some reason it took me a while to find this forum.
I have a 2008 E61 535d M Sport Touring which I took delivery of in mid August 2008. It replaced an aged but trusty 1998 E39 528i Touring and joins my wife's 2004 E46 330Ci convertible, 1995 M5 Saloon and 1989 E30 M3 Cecotto.
It was a BMW GB seed car and as such is well specified with....
The only other change is the addition of a detachable towbar to enable me to trailer the M3 to various UK tracks for days run by the BMWCCGB and also to the Nurburgring in Germany where the M3 has done over 800 laps.
I have already learnt more about my car from reading the posts and hope to be able to contribute it the future.
Cheers

Thanks for the kind words of welcome, I think I will like this forum.
@ Dr Dave, wow it is a small world
@ GENEaTALS, Nope no pics at the moment, sorry. It's too dirty so I will have to wait until I have washed it
probably over the weekend...
