First post folks and I decided that this would be a relatively decent place to start.
I'm on the Upper West Side and have previously owned a 2004 E60 545i [6 speed], a 2001 E46 330i [5 speed] and a 1997 E36 328i [5 speed]. My father passed away 3 years ago resulting in two additional cars and thus, I retired the E60. The deciding factor at that time came down to the fact that we had a 1 year old baby and the Mrs only drives an automatic. So, have been in a Japanese SUV since then.
However, the Mrs has been informed [and has approved] a F10 550i 6-speed in the near future. My dealer has been JMK in Sprindfield and I will probably go back to them again when the time comes. My wife LOVES to travel and I gently hinted at a European anniversary to which her eyes lit up. Of course I told her that the vacation would have to start in Munich and we would have to drive our own car through a few European countries.
I was always happy and impressed when sitting behind the wheel of any of my previous BMW's [especially the 545i] and can only imagine what the 550i would be like.
Once the car arrives here, I would be up for meetings if given a decent amount of notice [like bmw-nj said, work and children do get in the way] to meet others and learn more.
Finally to ALL the people at 5post - thank you for all the knowledge that you have been sharing.
Jay
