Hi guys, im new here, maybe 8 series owners will know me from clube31.com...

Here are the motors on my driveway...




Heres the 5, sorry i took it on my phone.



Anyways, the 5 series is the new one, but i couldnt bear to part with the 8, i just love it too much.

Ive got bluetooth, navigation, most extras that are available to be honest, its fully loaded and its awesome!

The 530d is so fast, kept up with a 545i on motorway as well!

Im looking forward to chatting with some of ya!

I am so jellous, everyone over the pond from me get the great diesels. I hate the environmentalists here. I wish I could have the option of the diesel.

Good luck with the new 5. Nice rides

Yep, good ol' England

Diesel is the way forward, i was very sceptical. It feels every bit as nippy as my 8 series with dinan chip.

I just need a remap on the 5 now.

I used to have an E39 M5 and ive had an E36 M3 and the 5 series i have now is more fun and more comfortable! Never thought id turn into an "old man" at such a young age!

They sell a low sulfur diesel in Europe. When it is available in the US, the diesels will be coming here. They are saying within a couple of years it will be available here. Don't blame environmentalists.

The 8 series is hot and the seats look like they're still in great condition.

Welcome Alex!

Looking at you 8 series reaffirms my position to spend extra on a BMW when others offer more horse power for less bucks. The car is just beautiful!!! Long lasting design and driving dynamics, you can't beat it. You really do get what you pay for!

Your car shows...treat it right, it will treat you right for years to come.

What model year is your 8?
