Hi,
Just after Christmas I pickup up my 1st ever BMW, an E60 545i. A great deal currently due to the economic climate, not many people splashing out on luxury V8's in the UK. I am very impressed so far, the car is mint inside and out but not without it's niggles, within the 1st few week 2 coil packs went and the bonnet latch...it could be worse.
I will have a few questions but will post in the general forum for the E60
All the best....JD
