Many congrats on the new car, Leonard. I used to have a E60 530i Steptronic, loved the car itself, hated the box, and the lack of power after owning a E39 M5 previously. So that's why I now find myself back in a E39 M5. Yours is the D, and has a manual box, so will perform better. I know it's unfair to compare a 530 to an M5, but I do wonder if, with time, you will really start to miss the M5 like I did. Enjoy, it is a lovely car. :thumbs:
