Hi All!

New member here. I'm currently waiting for my new 2007 525i to be delivered in the next couple of days. This is my first BMW, so I'm very excited. I already cleaned the garage, bought a new detailing kit, and installed new batteries on my digital camera... Oh, I also read the entire manual for the 2006 model which I found on the web. As you can see, I'm pretty exited. The new BMW will replace my 2004 Acura TSX.

I have been looking at this forum for the past couple of days and already found some very useful information which helped me find in which boat my car was in and track it until it was delivered to the prep center in SC.

Looking forward spending some time with my new BMW and in this forum community.

Welcome eegrad!

"eegrad" = Electrical Engineering Grad, eh? If so, your skillz will come in handy with the e60 and it's electronics.

Yeap, I'm an Electrical Engineer... From what I have seen this is going to be the most software intensive car that I have ever owned. It should be fun!!!

You'll find that you need to update the car's software on occasion just like MSFT software.
