Default A new car for my dad - 530i

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

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

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

I got to choose the colors

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.

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

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

Enjoy the sixpack

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

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! Easy to smoke people after you gave it a second but then you'd be going too fast.
