My Ride: 525i 05 Black Sapphire/Black Dakota
Hey guys, I picked up a "new to me" 05 525i not too long ago and thought I'd introduce myself to all of you fine gentlemen, and women!
First ever BMW owner, had a 98 C280 that recently died on me haha
I mos def see more BMWs in my driveways future!
I didn't get the nav tho, I don't mind it too much.
I basically know the SF Bay Area like the back of my hand!
Hopefully I'm able to come out for a meet sometime!

Welcome and congrats on your new purchase!! I'm fairly new myself joining this past October.. you'll find tons of info here and everybody is helpful.
For illyomatic in the San Jose-Bay Area, you'll see postings from EuroCarFan on the meets his organizes. There is actually a Cajun Crab House Meet tonight in San Jose at the restaurant on Winchester... I've haven't had a chance to make it to any event myself, but EuroCarFan does a great job in keeping me in the loop.
Have a good weekend!

Me, three. 
I bought an 06 530 in December. Had a 98 gs300 and loved it. My wife got a 325 in August after our daughter totaled her i30. I am also new to the forum. I have nav on my car. I like the nav, but liked my Garmin better.
