Heya peeps,

Picking my first 5 series up on Friday and can't wait! 2004 525d, 20,000 miles on the clock, one previous owner with all the trimmings. Very much an original car but will be making a few changes methinks!

Thought I should stop by and say hello

Cheers,

Andy

Thanks guys

And you are right Calvin. When I test drove it, it still felt tight as a nut!

I have the start of my plans now and am afraid to say I had to post some questions in the modding section Still finding my feet right now
