Hi,
I have just recently joined the board and I thought I should I introduce myself.
I have an E39 530i Sport, which I bought last September and prior to that I had an E46 328i. My E46 was fun, but the E39 is just something else.
Anyway, I live in Livingston and I am hoping to get myself along to some of the Scottish meetings.
I am going to keep it relatively standard, the only things I have done so far are add a set of Predator ICE and a set of HID lights to the low beam (the standard lights were pants to say the least!).
I am also having an ICE upgrade tomorrow, but more about that in another post
 Here are some pictures of my car.
PS. please excuse the dirty floor mats ;)      |

Thanks for the welcome guys. I am about 95% certain that I will make it along to the March meeting. I am looking forward to meeting up with some fellow BMW enthuisiasts
Nothing as classy as that Stephen, I did check out the colour code once and it was labelled as slate green (pretty boring, eh??!! ;))

Nice to have you join us Adam. March meet is at a curry house so I hope you like curries?? Morea Green is a nice colour just mine would be better not called that as looking out the window right now is looks more 'burnt oak green' lol Tiko -------------  |

I am a big curry fan Tiko
My only problem is that my wife does not like curries, so I rarely go out for a curry :(
As a result the March meet will kill two birds with one stone as far as I am concerned:
1. I get stuff myself with Indian food;
2. I can get to meet fellow Scottish BMW owners!
Cheers
Adam

Nice cars the E39 530i Sports. I was on the hunt for one last summer. Looks like it is loaded with toys too, nice. We'll all help you out with any technical/oily bits/cleaning tips that you may have. The guys on here are really helpful. All the best Andrew ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!

Welcome, Very smart looking motor, is it much heavier on the gogo juice than the 2.8?

Unfortunately, yes.
Bigger and heavier than the E46 and an automatic as well.
However, it is quite a different driving proposition, which more than makes up for it.
Welcome to the forum yourself BTW mpgscott
Won't be able to make the go-karts, but will be coming along to your April meeting (as long as it does not clash with Easter, anyone know when Easter is this year?).
