My Ride:
Hi everyone I just placed my order yesterday for a 520d. It's a lease car and I'll have it for three years. I've been wanting a 5 series for awhile now, ever since I went to the BMW plant with my tech class and they took us for a ride around their track in the M5.
I test drove the 1 series, 3, and the 5 before I ultimately decided on the 520d. I wanted to opt for the Msport package but it wasn't in the budget so to make up for that I plan on a few simple mods that can be easily removed when I turn it in or take it to the dealer.
