Hi fellow beast owners!

Switching from E39 forum to E60 forum is nice; cause I got my E60 just OUTSIDE MY DOOR (actually want it in my bedroom but my girlfriend is already frustrated of my addiction to the car...)

Was only 11.000 km on the trip; car as brand new; iPod kit etc.

Well; now I will need to learn all the stuff again; what can I do; tricks; known problems, how-to's...

TV; can I make it work while driving ?
Known problems? (I probably got the Vanos air-problem)...

Good to be here !!!

AFX, congrats on the new beast! Nice choice, especially that it has a low mileage. Don't forget to hook us up with some pics.

Congrats! I was out for a walk with the wife and kiddo yesterday and a guy drove by in a mint blue E39. I was a bit whistful...I miss the great sound of the V8.

The E60 is an evolution for sure, but all M5's pretty much rule.
