A new car for my dad - 530i

[riconijhof]

After a horrible time with a Chrysler Voyager we upgraded to something with more quality. :D I'm only 16 myself, so no car for me yet :(

Sorry for the bad quality and quantity of the pics.. :wink:

The quality of the pics is not that shabby dude, and the E60 in black is very very nice!

[Mopsdrops]

cool, so this was the car you always said to me your dad was gonna buy :wink: Nice car, rare but a very cool intirior :D

[riconijhof]

I got to choose the colors :D

We've been to 2 different BMW dealers to make an offer for the old Voyager. This second one offered TWICE as much for the Voyager as the other dealer, so my dad ordered the 530 the same day! :shock:

Nice car, I'm still trying to convince my dad that an E39 540i or M5 is the car for him hehe.

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Superb color combo, nice background...

[dingo]

The dealers kept hammering we should have a diesel with auto. But I kept hammering we should have a petrol with manual. Happy he chose my opinion :)


Thanks for the compliments all!

[Wutputt]

I really like the colour of the seats and door panels. It looks great, certainly with the black exterior.

Enjoy the sixpack ;)

I'm not fan of the new BMW but in black it just looks beautiful

Cheers!

Geat ride....

Our family is also on the verge to buy a new car, stands between the new A6 or a 525 o 530. Is that a tough choice or what? (take the fking bmw!)

:) :) :)

I have yet to see a manual E60 :( come to think of it...i have yet to see a customer owned SMG E60....everyone is to damn lazy to get a stick :?


davide, if you get the 530i, get one with the sport package. not as fun as the 545i, but still fun :wink:

good point a 3,5, or 6 with out sport is no fun at all and doesn't look nearly as good! 530 is almost funner then 545 because you can push it alot harder though without going nearly as fast. In my 540 m-sport with steptronic if i kicked it down a gear and let it rev a little id already be goin 30-40mph faster! :lol: Easy to smoke people after you gave it a second but then you'd be going too fast.

you can't tell the difference between the sport packages and non sport unless you have a tape measure. the only difference is the ride height. and maybe the rims, depending on which ones were purchased with the car :wink:

hammering the 545 and then jumping on the brakes to turn hard with the AFS is WAAAAYYY more fun than a 530. but i prefer a standard gearbox to the steptronic. The delay in the torque converter is just annoying. when i want acceleration, i want acceleration NOW :D :twisted:

Very nice car. Another Beemer member. WE are taking over TT. :twisted:

My dad also looked at the A6, but that car is not as stylish and fined out as the E60, also the A6 doesn't have RWD. Between the 530 and 525 i'd have the 530, it's a better engine and it runs smoother! (and it goes faster :twisted: )

[stradale]

Very nice car there, Rico. Excellent choice I think. Your dad and you (in 2 years time) will most definately enjoy it!

Love the colour combination, BTW :D

[dropot2]

Nice car and cool colour dude. Congrats for you and your dad! :)

[MUS911]

woooow,
well, dude, u have a special dad !!!

[Baf_love]

kill your dad and inherit the car .... kidding :P

nice car ... enjoy it man

[Z3uS]

Nice car! Colors are great too
The BMW 5 series is my favourite :)

[1zippo1]

Nice car!! I wish my dad had the money to afford one of those...

Great pics too btw.

Black suits the 5 series best IMO. But I would chosen for different rims.

When you become 18, I'm sure you'll have lots of fun in this car.

From a Chysler Voyager to this... that's a giant leap ahaed :mrgreen:

[DeMoN]

[saadie]

thast an awsome car .. and nice choice in color 8) 8)

[430csjj]

Me and my dad test drove a 545i but we went for the E46 M3 instead :D!!
