Welcome mate! I'm a relative new comer to the BMW family, having just bought an E53 (2006 4.4) 2 months ago. Love it so far. Still trying to learn about the machine, all it's quirks and issues. I live in the S/W but commute to Perth weekly (FIFO). It would be great to have a contact in the city who knows about these machines and someone a bit more local to bounce ideas off. Cheers...Roger
