My Ride: G30 530i M-sport
Model Year: 2018
Hi Everyone.
Just signed on as a member to this site after having spent lots of time on it as a guest, but now looking forward to more active participation.
I have just closed a deal with my local BMW dealer on sawpping out my 2001 E39 525i with to a Nov-2005 E60 530d, which I'll take delivery of on 20 March. It's got the newer engine (231bhp and 500Nm) and my extended test drive showed it to be a significantly different animal to my ourgoing car. Can't wait to take delivery and then really go out and have a blast in it.
It's sapphire black, with leather seats, sports suspension, xenon lights, professional sat nave, bluetooth, CD changer (which I am swapping out for the iPod interface), steptronic auto 'box, Comfortline 2 pack, Vision Pack. Still waiting for a full list of the 2005 items that were included in Comfortline 2 and Vision Packs, as the spec changed between autumn 2005 and now.

Congrats and welcome. I still love the lines of the E39 more than the E60, but the E60 is just a fantastic car. I don't miss my E39 anymore and neither will you. Enjoy the ride and congrats!
