Hi All,
I'm a newbie here and just wanted to say hi to all.
I am a former owner of an e90 and have now moved to an e60. It's only been a week and I really love the car.
I enjoyed the contributors over at e90post.com, but have seen that you guys seem to have a good discussion going on and frequent contributors as well.
I look forward to your input and help while I learn more about my car.
Good Luck,
~Petercat

Welcome aboard, glad you can join us.

What happened with the E90 that you switched so fast to the E60?

I loved the e90, it was everything I wanted in a car but a little small. I also got the 325, so a little low on power, but no dog. It was Jet Black over Terra. I absolutely fell in love with the Terra, but I'm not a fan of black cars. I'm a nut when it comes to a clean car and black was killing me. Also, I bought off the showroom floor and it didn't have lumber and the seats already sit a bit lower. I've had 4 back surgeries (I'm only 34) and I needed more comfort than the 3 could give me. The 5 seems to have answered all my wants.

Here's some pics of the 3;







more pics can be seen at my site;

Thanks for the welcome.
