Hello all, I was a member of the original BMWLand until it sadly came to an end. I was just Andy there, but I’m too late to claim that again! I’ve paid up to be a site supporter, I always supported Matt and will do the same here. I’m a little annoyed at how long it’s taken me to find this forum♂️ I’ve been through several BMW’s over the last 12 years and have very recently acquired a 2017 530d xDrive. Quite a change in performance and economy from my 116d. Simon from Bavarian Coding has already been out to see her, so I now have CarPlay enabled and he’s updated everything in my idrive. Once lockdown has buggered off, I’ll be getting the windows tinted. I need to hardwire my dashcam in, but that’s it for my plans at the moment. Andy
Welcome back aboard Andy, - what took you so long? . Well done on posting pics right out of the box but as a returning Member you'd remember how much we liked to see them...... That's a lovely example you've got yourself there, we'll naturally expect a more detailed report in due course but it sounds as though you're off to a good start with the Mods to date. Plenty of the old gang around so hopefully you'll feel right at home again.
Cheers gents. Nice to be back! I’ve don’t the dash cam hardwire today, I’ve taken a ton of photos so I’ll get a write up sorted later. Lots of catching up to do. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
that is a great looking car l have just spent the last four years driving a 5GT with the 530D engine and it is a fantastic motor that is very nice to drive and gives reasonable MPG as well
Again, thank you all Once I have enough miles under my belt I’ll cobble together a review. I think the last write up I did was on my 520d F10, probably in 2011 ish..... I have decided that the audio quality is utter crap though, I’m thinking a trip to Audiofile in Bishops Stortford is required.....
It really is very comfortable, I’ve been through a few seating positions and i still haven’t settled on one yet♂️
