Hey forum. I've owned a Mercedes, a Volvo, and a bunch of other cars. My most recent daily driver was a 4runner (that I kept to haul the boat in the summers).

Last week I bought a 2012 528i with all the bells and whistles. It was a CPO with 9,000 miles. I got one hell of a deal on it and couldn't pass it up.

This is my first BMW. I love it so far.

This is a great forum and I have already learned a great deal on here.

Ah, sounds good. I thought that parking lot looked familiar.....I have spent too much time there lately.

Saying high to a fellow Texan and also the rest of the forum as well. I'm new as well. Just got a dark graphite 2012 535i last month.
Congrats and Welcome to the fest :thumbup:

I use Photobucket, upload the pics in PB and copied the image code and use the option here to paste the link.

Looks nice. Mojave was my first color choice, but for some reason BMW doesn't think it belongs on an MSport. :(
