I'm back in a BMW...just picked this up | some PICS

RonnieRenaldi · 01-16-2013, 09:40 PM

This was about 6 months ago:

This is today:

I just picked up a brand new 2013 528i xDrive M-Sport for my daily driver.
Perfect for daily, 0-60mph in less than 6 secs, averaging 27 mpg and all-wheel drive too.

Pretty much loaded:

Auto Start-Stop just like Prius

Pretty cool feature...facebook on the Nav screen:

Some interior detail pics:

Great car set! I don't hv the same HP beast SL as you but also has the MB (GL450) and BMW (535i M) combo.

Btw, what camera did you use? Love the pic style.

EV0LVE · 01-17-2013, 12:55 AM

Just like a Prius! Except its not gay!

Well done.

Alan l. · 01-17-2013, 09:50 AM

Sweet.

I've always been a fan of all of your cars even back in the fanatics days. Very nicely done, classy with all the right mods.

Your SL is seriously the best looking one i've ever seen. It can't get anymore perfect imo.

This will stay stock

^^ we all said that before LOL

P1et · 01-18-2013, 03:31 PM

Gorgeous! Is that bone stock the way pictured in your photographs? I've been looking at replacing my current daily with a new F10 as well and was going back and forth between a 528i and a 535i. But you hit the nail on the head: what's wrong with a 0-60 in 6 secs and the high MPGs that go along with the 528i engine? Win-win in my book...

Bart@AUTOcouture · 01-19-2013, 03:15 PM

Awesome, congrats!

It's an 04 but pretty low mileage, currently at 30K miles.
Yeah, replacing ABC can be expensive. I just replaced front control arms, spring link bushings, oil sensor, rear main seal (back of engine) and parking pawl seals, couple thousands bucks for those
