Hi guys, picking up my E60 tomorrow after a sting of E46 M3s. Got a third kid on the way so the M3 had to go. It is a june 2006 car in indianapolis red with sepang bronze full interior. It also has madeira walnut trim but the less said of that the better (it is 110% being ripped out). It only has 16500 miles and is like a brand new car so was hard to pass up and got a decent discount off the original price.

Few pics off my phone just before the deal was done 10 days ago.

Welcome!!

Good advice above, read and re read your manual, sit yourself in the car and lock the doors and play with all the functions refering back to the manual. This wil give you a better driving experience and reduce the suprise that are hidden and in built into these amazing cars.

Also use the search function here as theres loads of answers to nearly all questions you will come up with but if you can't find or can't quite think how to get to the right answer just fire us the question and I bet you get an answer!

Things to note and nearly everone ask the question is the electronic dip stick/oil level gauge and functions of plus oil consumption and gear settings.

Have fun finding out!

Regards

Jay
