Hi Everyone,

I?ve been lurking on here for a bit now picking up some good advice before buying my first E60, anyway, I?ve now bought a 2004 530i Sport so I thought I?d break cover on here.

Here?s the Spec?

530i Sport Auto
Silver
Black Dakota Leather
Alu Cube Dash
Sat Nav
Heated Front Seats
Memory Seats
Advanced A/C
Logic 7
Folding Mirrors
Auto Lights
Auto Wipers

I don?t pick it up till Friday but I can?t wait.

Keep up the top work on here, great forum!

Tunbridge

Cheers, I've already got a few mods planned. I think the first will be some darker tints on the windows and then it needs some 19" rims once I've convinced the wife that the 18"'s just aren't big enough

Needs an iPod kit too...ah the list goes on!

Congrats and welcome on board!

Good luck with the rims... if you can't win the 18s aren't enough arguement, just remember the 19s come without RFTs and are therefore more comfortable than 18s with RFTs -- maybe you can convince her with the comfort arguement Where there's a will, there's a way. And you're certainly in the right place to find reasons to mod your 5er!
