My Ride: 2006 530xi
Sport, Premium, Cold Weather Packages, Nav, Xenon and PDC
Hi everyone,
I've been lurking on these forums for a while, and decided it was time to introduce myself as I finally took the plunge and bought a CPO 2006 530xi. Chances are I won't need all the modding advice floating around on these boards as it's mainly for the wife and daughter, but I've gleaned tons of other useful information from everyone. Thanks again for being such a great community!
