Well, I'v been lurking here for over a year but posted just today for the first time. I am driver of 530 xdA, logging some 50 000 km per year. Profession is M.D, driving all around the Finland selling myself where my service is needed the most :-)
The car info is shown below, I'm really hooked with E60 and consider it the very best of cars. Another car, mainly used my fiancee, is Mini Cooper S. Nearly BMW also...I'm looking for a track machine in near future, maybe going to new M3 once it's released.
I'h uploaded some BMW videos to Youtube. I hope you can see them here:
Below is also a picture of my car.

Thanks. Lowering has been in my mind. But, well, winter is here with us half of the year and extra height is often needed. Last evening I washed my cars on dry weather and below is a photo taken 15 minutes ago in front of my house. So, maybe I keep my x-drive as a bad weather car in future also...it looks so good already that I may survive with it :-)
