New Member Intro.
 

Hello just picked up my second BMW today. E39 540ia came across it by accident . March of last year 2011 I finished a five year 200k stint with a 2000. 740il . Was a nice run but a full suspension and other maintenance + clearcoat calculated a early end .
With new less desirable shapes & styles too me. I briefly considered switching to A8l . While saving , had to get my girlfriend a car found a used car dealer that sold inexpensive vehicles. Found her a decent 2000 hyndai, while closing out that deal notice he had 540ia in rear of alot working on window regulator. Not really interested scince I had e38 already. Meanwhile driving a 1990 gmc 1500 pu & 98. Honda civic. Truck v8 sucking up fuel Honda smallest car ever owned,couldn't take being forced to drive the right lane of (95) when I used to hold traffic @ bay with a BMW.
Scince second car he practically gave it to me. It's a little small but. Im back.
Thx for reading this winded intro.
