Hey! hope you guys dont mind a "new member here" post. Amazing board, everbody seems friendly around here even with the amount of new posts every minute~ other boards are just full of kids making useless posts..

Put down an order on a 05 Alpine white 530i SMG in beginning of Sept., expecting delivery in the end of November...the wait kills


<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>thanks to alohalc and Iceman who already gave a warm welcome!</span>

I think you will find all here will welcome you, and encourage you through the waiting period. Many of us had to wait for months so there is plenty of sympathy in the group. I am sure that the 530 will fill your bill. After driving a loaner X3 for the last five days, I have developed an appreciation for the BMW six.

alpineweiss, welcome again ! i remember our other member, rollee, is from north york, ontario. probably more members are located around that area, too. you guys can meet up and you'll be able to "feel" the car before it arrives . oh, fyi, i kind of remember he said his dealer is pretty good.

Welcome "Mr. White"...

You have good taste, especially when it comes to color and transmission choices!

Mark my words, you will LOVE the SMG. If you haven't already, spend some time following the SMG related links in the FAQ. You can find the thread here. It may help to prepare you for the arrival of your new baby...

since you have white, you definitely need the red rear reflectors or have the black ones painted in white .
