Hello Everyone,

I have been lurking here for about a month and have found this forum very informative and entertaining. I am a first time BMW owner. I just picked up my car on 1/22. It is used, but new to me. This is also my first luxury car and I must say it is everything I was hoping for.

I live in Atlanta, Ga. and work for CNN. Because of the the State of the Union, Florida Primary and the GOP and Democratic CNN debates I have not had any time to take and post any pics.

Congratulations and welcome. I am here in Atlanta as well. I hope you get many years of enjoyment out of your car. You will find the members here tremendously knowledgeable and always willing to help. It is a cut above the Audi and Lexus forms that I used when owning those models.
By the way, I don't know where you live, but I have my car serviced at Global Imports and have found them to be great to work with.

Hey ATL: Greetings from STL. I, too, was a lurker, but for more like three months before I bought my e60 in late June, then waited almost six months to sign up. No matter, it's a great group that already has solved several vexing issues for me, as well as saved me money by recommending the BMW dealership in RI (see sticky at top of Parts, Acc. Mods). I'm sure they will help you as well. Welcome to the forum.
