Good evening

Post by Legeek » Tue May 01, 2012 9:54 pm

Hi there,
Another newbie here.
Sold my 530D a few weeks back and after a few weeks searching for what I wanted, I'll be picking up my 2006 E53 3.0D Sport on Thursday morning.
Just in time for my wife to take it away for the week-end whislt I am away for a business trip all week-end and next week.
Still, I will get to enjoy it on my return !!
Cheers

Hello, and welcome.... :thumbsup:

And in the best tradition of this site... :worthless:

And 'but it's raining' is not an acceptable reason- nor is darkness or dirt, or I haven't got a camera... :poke: :D

:cry: Actually she is a pretty good driver... And the deal is that if she likes the X5, then we can share and she will sell her mini cooper so I can get a Z4... X5 + Z4... I am not complaining.

Pictures as soon as I am back in a few days.

Very nice looking car.... :thumbsup:

I hope you are allowed to enjoy it for a few hours before reluctantly handing over the keys.. :driving:

You'll be back just in time to be handed the keys back and to find an empty tank......if my experience with mine was anything to go by.. :cry:

Got it for a couple of hours but it is now full up with camping stuff and off limits for me.
Yep true enough re: petrol. I just filled it up as well so that was a nice £115.00 bill... I will definitely fill up in France next time.
