My Ride: '05 530i/6
I picked up a '05 CPO 530i M/T last thursday. Of course being spring in Michigan, we got hit with a snow storm so I got to drive it home in snow. I bought the car primarily for my wife to commute in + a long range cruiser. We took it down to central Illinois this weekend, good for 800 miles or so. I was impressed with the 500+ mile cruising rage. I put a pic in an album, but haven't spent enough time on this site to know how to point you to it.
As far as background info - we (I'll blame my wife partially) have a few other BMWs - the oldest being a '72 2002tii. I've been prepping a '87 325is for racing in nasa spec e30. so I hope to get my comp license this summer and start racing. We also have a '85 735i/5 and a couple '95 e34 530i/5.
