Hello everyone, I'm thinking of getting a german car and I'm leaning towards BMW. I'm checking out the different BMW forums to see what I can find about the right BMW for me. I hope to have a great time here thanks!

Do it! Don't get an Audi....you won't be satisfied. Don't get a benz, unless you only care about appearance and not performance. BMW offers both appearance and performance, and you won't be disappointed!
Good luck!

Welcome! For inline 6, get the 06 or 07 530i which gives you 255 (The most you can get out of a NA I6), or go with 550 if you're looking for v8. Don't get the 535i, they got too many problems. You will need the sport option, which gives you a sport seat with better support, a lower suspension, so you don't have to spend on after market springs, and a shadow trim (People pay few hundreds to get them retro fit).
Hope this help
