Hey everyone,

My name is Ron, and I just pulled the trigger on an '04 525i in silver grey metallic. It really is an amazing car, as soon as I took the test drive I was sold. Not only does it drive smooth as silk, but its spacious and can you say QUIET? I'm loving the car and I haven't even taken delivery yet. I was deciding between this and the e90 325i and I dont think ill be looking back on this decision. I've been lurking around on this forum for the past few weeks and I've noticed the sense of community among the members on this site is much better than on other car forums. I live on Long Island and I noticed you guys have a lot of meets and such and I'd definately be interested in attending when im able to.

Anyway, just wanted to drop in to say hello!

Peace
-Ron

Welcome, Ron. I live on Long Island too and do most of the Meets around here. We'll need to connect one of these days. I'm on the North Shore, in Nassau County.

Sounds good guys! I'm on the south shore in Suffolk, not too far out east though. By the way, I think I'm one of the younger member on the forum, I'm 19. Hopefully none of the other members hate on my because of my age. That was all too common on the boards I'm coming from.

When's the next Long Island meet? I saw a bunch of pictures and videos of a meet where you guys all stopped by the exit for my old high school. I recognized it immediately and thought that was really funny. I'd definately like to be involved in a meet like that.

Do any of you guys to to the Bald Hill meets on Tuesadys? I haven't been there yet this year, but if any other 5ers are going I'd be down to represent! (even though I'm only a stock 525 haha)

I thought you were older, based on your writing style.

I'm thinking about doing another Meet in August. Keep an eye out over the next few weeks in the Meet and Greet section.

Just because I'm young doesn't mean I'm excused from using proper grammar and punctuation lol. I'll definately keep an eye out for meets.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes everyone! Glad to be a part of this community.

Thanks guys. Here's a quick shot I snapped at the dealer before the test drive. I'll post more once I take delivery later this week.
