Evening all.
Had a look around theses forums and read some interesting pointers and figured it might be a useful place to hang out.
Originally from the UK and now living just outside Toronto.
I've previously owned an E39 540I so this will be my second experience with BMW.
I'm not sure how the price compares to in the UK. Most things seem more expensive here but I paid around 8k GBP give or take a little depending on ex rate.
Anyway here are a few pics of her

Hello there - expat Brit also living east of Toronto. In fact I got my car from Endras as well!
I used to have an E53 3.0i as well (2004) - sold it to a fourm member when we came out to Canada. We are in Brooklin just north of Whitby.

Small old world. I'm actually living in Whitby. I just figured Toronto as most people know of it. I live not too far from Brock / Rossland.

We must get together for a beer! The Royal Oak perhaps?
Might need to move this off the forum as it will bore those not living in Ontario!

Shame Don's fling wing hasn't got the range, or he could take us.......unless he's got a mate with a Gulfstream V spare for the weekend of course..
He can do the take-off and landing bit, and I know enough to do the bit in the middle. The rest can party in the back.....
