Exclamation New Member with 2006 GS430 & BMW E60 M5

Hello fellow members,

I just wanted to say hello to all of you. I've signed up a few months ago but this is one of
my first post here.

I look forward to learn a lot from all of you and hopefully be able to provide any help if I can.

I was fortunate enough to own two of very nice vehicles (in many different way) together
relatively at the same time. It is a long story I hope to be able to share with you all one day
if anyone is interested.

I tried to upload more pictures at higher resolution but it seems I am only allowed to upload
one picture at below 100K. So I am only posting one picture today.

If anyone is interested in seeing more pictures and have a means to upload more, please
let me know and I will be happy to share them with you.

Thank you.

Cool

Thanks for warm welcome!

The GS430 is indeed 2006 in USA term.
I am curruntly in New Zealand (Although I used to live in Irvine, CA, USA until 2001) and
in here the car is considered 2005 model if it is registered on 2005.

Anyways, here is another picture (interior) of my M5. Enjoy!

Welcome to CL. Always nice to see car enthusiasts.

Speaking of sig, you may want to reduce it to at most 8 lines (including spaces) to be within CL guidelines.

Thanks for your advise on Sig guideline.
I've now modified it to meet the policy.
Thanks again!

Welcome , & how about some pics of the 2 babies together

& I don't want to know how much these cars are in New Zealand, I think they're much more expensive there than they are over here too . . .
