Hey, guys, about a year ago, I got on this forum, looking for advice on a used 3 Series that I was looking at. Ended up (making a mistake) and getting an Acura RSX...well, a year later and I'm back. Tomorrow at noon, I will be the proud new owner of my very first BMW.

Got a black 540i auto (didn't want a 6 in the terrible Atlanta traffic). I'll post some pictures up this weekend after I wash and touch her up. Going to have to do a little bit of restoration work making it like new, but it's going to be great. Can't wait.

Anyway, I'll be around. Thanks for having such a great forum.

Car is in great mechanical shape, but the paint needs some love...nothing like the sweet massage of a random orbital polisher and some touchup paint.

looks good! know if he replaced the cooling system yet?

Welcome.
You will be in love with her. I know I am. I live in Kennesaw, GA. A proud owner of 97 540i/6SPD.

Welcome and nice score. Get on the pm wagon asap and secure your investment. Hope she gives you many years of love...

Nice ^^

pm wagon? Huh? Confused.

The Fan Clutch was replaced and the radiator isn't stock so that was already replaced, so it should be fine.

Welcome!! :wave Fellow 540i Atlantan as well.. I'm on the West Side!!:buttrock
