My Ride: 2008 535xi -- took delivery January 24th, 2008 -- Space Gray w/black dakota leather interior and Bamboo Anthracite wood trim, Sport Package / Premium Package / Cold Weather Package / Logic7 / Bluetooth / IPOD / NAV / 18" Star Spoke 124s...BUT I could not resist the M Aero Kit, tinting the windows and adding front/rear blacked-out Roundels
Good evening. My name is Alex and I'm currently living in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago. I have been a member of the board for awhile, but relatively "silent", however, browsing many threads as I moved from my 2004 530i to the new addition to the family of the 535xi. A huge "thank you" is in order, as many of you helped me make the decisions regarding...well everything...color, options, aero kit...and I guess my first question to you will be...is she sitting too high on those 124 shoes of hers?
I have been waiting for the Chicago weather to clear and let some sun shine on the car...but as one of you already noted (CVTBenhogan)...no such luck...so my apologies for the "gray" pictures...even though in my eyes it is trully a sunny day!!!
I know it will be a pleasure. Thank you for reading/viewing my post. Looking forward to the discussions.
