My Ride: (E60) 535D M-Sport (DMS)
Morning, i've just joined this forum, as i collect my 535D M-Sport on Monday, having driven Audi's for the last few years.
Made the move to save a few pennies this year for other investments (the wife made me), as my most recent steed was a highly modified RS6 (insane 552BHP monster).
The new Bimmer is my local dealer Principals car, so has most of the option boxes ticked, with 19" New M5 wheels, Comfort Seats, Head-Up Display, Hi-Fi Loudspeaker, Sun Protection Glass & Media Package along with a few other optional extras. She's in SIlver Grey with Black Leather & looks stunning.
Moving from such a powerful cal may cause me to go the DMS route, just for that extra kick, but i'll see how things go for the 1st few weeks.
Anyhow, just wanted to say hello & as i've done over on RS246, Tyresmoke, PistonHeads & TT-Forum, i'll be back frequently to pick your brains & get advice on my new car.
