Hi
Not only am I new to the forum, it's also my first E60 that I own. Bought a white 525i A/T 2005-model about a week ago. Had about 36,000miles on the clock, which everybody assures me is still okay out of a reliability point of view. Must say that the car exceeded all my expectations, great car!!!
I currently live in a town called Springbok in the Northern Cape region of South Africa. Very remote with pencil straight roads that stretch to the horizon. Ideal for the E60, since we don't have traffic officers or speed camera's for that matter. My cruising speed with the E60 is normally 150mph, which is very comfortable for car (and driver!).
It would be great to hear from other E60 owners, so drop me a mail if you feel like it.
