A BMW at last

Recommended Posts

Hi all

Long time lurker but have quietly bided my time and done the research and at last have become a BMW owner.

Took delivery of an 2002 E39 525i M-Sport Touring on Friday. Beautiful drive back from Auckland until hitting a chunk of wood in the middle of my lane north of Hunterville (it had been deposited there by surface flooding which had mostly gone by then) which gave me a hell of a fright, fortunately just knocked the clip on one of the suspension sensors off and cracked some of the plastic gaurd underbody, no real mechanical or structural damage (have had it checked)

Have to say great service from Andrew and the team at Global Prestige, really looked after me and made me feel at ease over the (for me) significant purchase of this car. Also thanks to those who helped me out with some advice on my other thread when I was looking around. Good to meet Johno (zenetti) from Mag and Tyre Direct who replaced the rather shockingly worn yet 'warrantable' tyres on the car - its a nice quiet ride now.

Briefly, I'm in Palmy, work as an IT tech for a Govt dept, married with 2 kids plus a dog (hence the Touring) and support the Arsenal and anyone playing Australia.
