Hi All, I originally joined the forum when I bought my 2008 130i MSport back in December 2019, but forgot to post to introduce myself. Anyhow the 130i is my 4th BMW, and it is way the better and more enjoyable car to drive. The 130i are meant to be driven.

Hi all, Longtime lurker and first time contributor. I'm an automotive enthusiast with deep interests across all areas and eras. I often research and embark on deep-dives into manufacturers, models and automotive history. My favourite BMW is the E60 M5. I truly believe it's the greatest super/sports saloon ever built, and the S85 one of the greatest engines of all-time along with the S70/2. In my opinion it's a historic high-water-mark and represents the pinnacle of BMW, saloons, q-cars and Germany's engineering & industrial-base. So around two-years ago I started the search for finding my perfect E60. Whenever I purchase, I try to find the best possible example with the intention to hold it forever (I've never sold a car and hopefully never will). As you all know it's incredibly difficult to find a good-condition, low-milage, well-maintained E60. After scouring all RHD markets for the perfect example, I finally found 'the one' in an October auction on Collecting Cars UK. One-owner, 52k-kms, high-spec, meticulous history/records, only dealer serviced, completely factory spec (unmodified), UK-new. No expenses spared and kept in a supercar storage facility for the past few years. 2006, Silverstone, Full-Indianapolis, Olive Carrara, clear glass, Silver 166s, active heated front & rear seats, Logic7, etc... Essentially every box ticked, except for blinds & cooled seats (thankfully). Full old-money geezer spec. Hopefully it comes across well in the photos. The car landed in January and is now compliant, registered, emissions approved (ffs...), and is out on the road. This is my first BMW. Loving every kilometer. I'm excited to have joined the club. Will likely meet a few of you at club meets/events. Cheers

Had a little Easter meet on Sunday. What a nice turnout. Some beautiful e30s and some other beautiful cars too. Here are some pics

In other news - medium case 3.64 LSD: $2300.

So good to see you bro! Also your car and that car is e30 porn

Few little updates. I did some exhaust work on the vert and man it's livened it up a whole lot. I chucked on my headers and test pipe and deleted the resonator and put in two coby resonators in it's place. These are so much better. I have noticed a difference in power delivery and I must say I am stoked. I also finished one out of 4 wheels to see what I will be eventually going with for my wheel set up. Here are some pics for those interested

And slippers, a must!
