Hello all, newbie from sunny south florida, my wife & I just traded our 2001 530i (steel blue metalic sport/prem) for a 2008 titanium silver 535i (sport/prem with paddle shifter, sp seats, sat radio, comfort access, etc.) I was an Audi/VW guy (still have a 92 VW Corrado VR6) but our e39 made me a supporter of both brands, and we LOVE our 535i. Now I'm saving up for a 135i coupe, which I plan to pickup in Germany in early fall 2008.
