So, tomorrow is my BIG and busy day.
*Going to pickup replacement for my current car.
*Going to pickup my e39 from the shop, some jerk hit me in the rear driver side wheel. The wheel is gone (needed to be replaced) but everything else is untouched!!! Whole front on his SUV (Honda CRV) is smashed. Couple photos, before the incident.

Tomorrow morning will go for second check and if everything right, hope to bring it home before evening. Wish me luck!
That one looks pretty good!

Good Luck on your search!

I agree. I reset mine twice a week.

Nice car that 540i but I am more of an E39 M5 guy due to power,handling and manual transmission. The E55 is the way to go if you want an automatic cruiser with power.

OK, got both of my cars. Now I am proud owner of e55 and my current e39 will be for sale soon, can not keep both need to recover some money. Though I like the idea to keep them both and switching driving between them.
Oh, I know, I owe the pictures, stay tuned ...
