I've been reading this forum for a long time and have decided to take the plunge and join. I have a build date july '04 545i, sports package, saphire black, auburn interior. This forum has provided excellent info and I'm pleased to be a part of it. By the way, I drove a e46 '02 M3 before I got the e60 and much prefer the e60 at this point in ownership.

Welcome, my car is very similar to yours. I'm sure you will continue to love it. Try to add your location, it helps a lot with questions you might have.

Welcome aboard darkshark. Glad you finally found us.

Nebraska! I'm not sure we have any members from there. I bet you have some great diving roads there along the river where you can let your E60 stretch its legs a bit.

Welcome, and you'd better post your list of options too. I'll be particularly interested in your fording kit... used for river "diving"....

Cheers,

tachyon, We have some great wide open country that makes for some excellent driving. In the evenings you need to be very careful to avoid deer on the roads along the rivers. We have a real problem with running into deer in my area. North of town through the sandhills is an otherwise excellent place to let the car stretch her legs.
