I'm here as a defector from the e39 Road_fly lounge.
Awaiting to take delivery of a 2008 535i Friday morning.
6 sp
Black Sapph/Black Dakota/Anthracite Headliner
SP/PP/CW
M-Aero installed at port
Rear Sunshade/Fold Down, Heated Rear Seats
PDC
L7/HD/Sat/iPod/Nav
Purchased direct through BMW NA, and vehicle is being delivered right to the house via BMW transport.
I haven't stepped foot into a dealer, and haven't even driven the new 535.
Going on reviews and friends impressions.
Perfect blend of M5 good lines without the ugly side vents (with the M-tech), TT when you want it, I6 for better mpgs, 200lbs less than the 550, and more nimble.
I'm not going to get much sleep tomorrow night.
The V1 from the e39, new mats and trunk tray are awaiting the new baby's arrival

The waiting is the hardest part, I remember as soon as I got the VIN, checking and tracking my e60 everyday until I picked it up at the dealer....hope it goes by fast...
That is actually how I found e60.net, I wanted to find a way to track my e60

I think you'll like the E60 even better than the E39 and I'm certain you'll like these forums better than the one's over on Roadfly!

Hey! Watch it! I must admit, I haven't been on the "regular" e39 forum in years, but still have many internet friends in the e39 lounge and keep up on the gossip almost everyday.
