The New Guy

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum and wanted to say hi. I've been lurking for a little while and am a huge E60 fan. So it's a pleasure to be here.
I recently moved from Aus to the US and had to sell my 5 series.![Frown](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/sad.gif)
But the good news is the US is much cheaper and I've spent the last few months car shopping looking for my new 5. This time a 545i.
Finally found her today and will soon join the ranks. I just love that V8 purr.
Thus begins the long journey of Dinan, M-Tech, and whatever else works over time. Looking forward to it. And will let you all know how I go.
Meanwhile, here's a pic (maybe this should be considered a "before" shot).

Welcome to the forum Marty! I'm still in Aus and there are few Aussies on the forum also. Theyre all pretty good guys. Mate luv ur ride hope you got a fresh licence with plenty of points, a manual 545 will hammer. Way too dear in Aus can only make 525 on my director fees. Be carefull what you buy from sellers in this forum, check testimonials thouroughly in classifieds section of the main menu. Good luck.
Alll the best
