Hello-newbie here

Hi all,
I'm totally new to this forum and this is my first BMW. Picked it up on the 26th of Feb and she's doing just fine. Bought her for US$210k from the Singapore BMW agent. just had her detailed over the weekend and thought I'd post some introductory pics.
Also had 19" Hamann rims installed with runflats 275/40 and 245/45.

2003 Lamborghini Murcielago 'GT' #730 built (sold)
2010 BMW 730Li (alpine white/beige)
2007 Mercedes SLK 280
2007 Ford Mondeo

Thanks guys for the warm welcome. I am now awaiting for the foot rugs made from real sheep skin to replace the thin mats which look like they came out of some ford mondeo.

Thats what I thought so I took it to the BMW agent and they said it's fine. Also in a way it looks more masculine. Just my opinion.

I just checked with the Hamann dealers and this particular rim is designed in this way to stick out little more. Also I just rang up the BMW chief engineer/road test and he said not to worry, it's actually better now.

Thanks. Funny that, they don't do the 3.0 petrol in the UK but have the diesel.

There's a much bigger market for diesel engines in Europe unlike Singapore.
