welcome =)

 

hmmm.. I thought I wrote a signature block to appear on this intro - oh well

2006 550i (43,000Klms!) M-Sport Blue Onyx-Metallic / Composite 3

 

Paul, post a picture of your motor

 

Here ya go. I first thought people would have seen more than enough of E60s by now.

I really love this car now that I own it, but I very nearly walk away from it when I first went to test drive it. That gaudy shiny wood grain almost made me pass it up - I think its yuk and way too expensive to change to black or something less like a coffin. Great car though!

Hope you like it..
Cheers,

Paul

 

great looking car!

 

Thanks mate.. I agree Its one of the nicer looking colour combos I've seen on an E60, and I really like the Aero kit on it too (such a shame about that trim is all).

I'm going to have to deface it by putting mud flaps on it though because the paint has been getting hammered along the bottom in the 2wks I've owned it. I live on a property and the council will probably never seal the 4klm of dirt leading to our (sealed) subdivision.

cheers,
