Hi guys I'm new here and new to BMWs too. I recently bought a very tidy 520i SE from 2002 (E39) My recant car was a Citroen C6 which I loved to pieces - quirky, quiet, comfortable and decent power, ideal for cruising or 'wafting' around in. Unfortunately after 4 years of ownership and approaching 100,000miles I decided to move it on before it stung me too badly, preferring to be able to look back on the ownership as a good period. I was dogged with front suspension issues from ball joints to FRIP joints and also had problems with the headlights which were 1K a pop. So I owned a Civic S for a bit (just moved to Yorkshire, thought it would be fun on the moors!) and after driving a big car again I decided it was time to get back into a barge!! So the 520 is lovely, very smooth and quiet, just what I was after. It's done very low miles for its age and hopefully will prove a reliable and long term ride. I'll leave you with a picture of my C6 and one of the new car. You probably know but the colour is 'liquid blue' which I think is stunning. I look forward to getting involved on the forum Cheers ped C6 at gate by chiscocks, on Flickr (Poor phone pic for now I'm afraid)
