Greetings!
It's good to be back behind the wheel of a BMW... The first one I owned was a 1972 E3 Bavaria. It was a great ol' car with the 3.0 liter engine, but, unfortunately, a horrible three-speed auto.
We owned an 1991 E34 535i w/ LSD for a short time, and our oldest son now has it.
We recently stumbled across a "had-to-have" 2006 E61 530Xi Sport Wagon with just over 40K miles and a six-speed manual, premium package, and cold weather package.
We're looking forward to enjoying the car while we learn more about it, and, I hope, contribute to the forum.
Prost!
