Hello folks. New x driver, old bm driver

Post by Rob5 » Tue Aug 06, 2013 9:55 pm

Hi all.

Been driving a 330 for the last 3 years but an addition to the family means a bigger car needed. Got myself a 4.4 sport yesterday so looking forward to joining all you x drivers. Been on bimmerforums for years now but a dedicated X site seems the business.

Hopefully speak to some of you guys soon.

Thanks
Rob
