Hi I'm Jazzbass, in Palmy. I've just bought my third BMW (pictured) and its my first 5 series. Have had a '92 318 and a '95 325 before, I was a little concerned that the 528i SE might not give me the same BMW feel. But it does - and more! I can't believe how much better my E39 is than my E36.

It's only a bog standard E39, but I love it to bits!!

Welcome to the E39 club, nice 5er you've got there.

What colour is it? Titanium silver or arctic silver, i can't quite tell. Looks nice though.

cleaning wheels use mothers wheel mist in the yellow bottle, spray on hose off, easy work.

Easiest way to keep the wheels cleaner is to change the BMW (Pagid) pads and fit Mintex 1166. Halves the dust generated and gives better performance.

We'll have to try and arrange a meeting at Manfield sometime, see how many cars we can get there. Double up with an Intermarque. :bounce:

Come one come all then as the next meet is not that far off, July 24th

It doesn't seem to matter what pads I use as my wheels always get coated, but they're a damn site easier to clean than weaves so I won't complain.

I will probably be down there that week-end, however, I wasn't planning to take the 540 as I'm working and have a week before and after of driving it.

Maybe I will.. See if the boss will cover the petrol. It could do with a decent run. David, Peter & Gerry are planning to be there also, I believe.

My car is Glacier Green.

I had the choice of 2, but the other was white....I prefer colour, even though Glacier Green is more silver than green.
