Hello to all, thought i should register as I'm on the look out for a 5 series within the next 6 months.
I'm 32 and living in Newcastle england, I had all sorts of cars during my years of driving, XR2, XR2I, Renault 5 gt turbo, 172, pulsar, cooper s, Evo 6 & 8, but i am now looking for something a bit more grown up, plus i will have a dangerous driving conviction once i get my licence back.
I'm looking for a m sport 520d or petrol 05 06, What sort of extras should i be looking out for and what comes with them?
I dare say a few changes will be made to the vehicle but nothing drastic, probably some springs and wheels.
hello everybody
Phil

to the forum and good luck with your upcoming purchase. If you get the sprt package you probably won't need to get after market springs/suspension. A little off topic, but Newcastle is my favorite beer,

I have had a search around in the gallery and there are some lovely looking cars.
Are there many people from the uk on here?
