My Ride: 2009 550i M-Sport Carbon Black
New to 5 Series
Hello,
Just joined the forum as it seems to be the place for the 5.
I have been involved in BMW groups since 2001. I dove in with European delivery on my E46 and then again on my 135i. Just sold my 135i and traded for a used 2009 550i M-Sport.
With a new car I have to get some new information, so here I am to learn the ins and outs of the E60. Wish me luck and thanks in advance for the help. I hope I can provide a little assistance as well, as I have done much of my own work on my BMWs over the years with a little tinkering included.

Just finished buffing/polishing, sealing & waxing. I will try to get a fresh picture.
As for mods, I tinkered with my last two a little bit, but so far I plan to stay pretty stock on this one. Maybe a few NCS Expert coding tweaks.
Did do auto trans service, dealer programming, a new battery and will be doing the sunroof seal this week. Also a good amount of detailing - paint, leather, interior trim, etc.
How about you? Big plans to modify?

Nice man. No big plans. I installed the AC type lip spoiler and just ordered some led side markers. Other than that just waxed it with the turtle wax black box. Thinking of doing a dual exhaust set up in the near future.

Hi Guys,
I am new here like you and just got my 09 535 xdrive (auto - eh). I had a 01 e39 5 MT that I traded in. I have run flats and this is my first time driving with them. I can feel the car is less secure. I miss the Michelin Pilot Sport Plus tires that I had on my e39.
Good luck on the mods guys.
