For the new guys, I'm one of the older, original X5 crew members and I hosted a number of East Meets. I still lurk here and on occassion I might add my two cents, but it has been some time since I've had an X5 and so, my daily diet of X5 threads has diminished. What has not lessened is the joy I get from reading about events like Juan's gig where people are getting together, forming great friendships and making the BMW X5 something more than the sum of its parts.
