Hi. I'm Richard. Lots of first time experiences for me: First ever BMW, first ever diesel and first ever automatic gearbox.

I was a dedicated ford owner, but so far I am loving my '07 320D SE.

Welcome Richard

welcome to the sweet world of BMW, Richard - :)

Thanks for your kind welcome.

I'm now in my mid fifties, but every time I look at my 'new' BMW, I get goose bumps and the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Is this normal? Will pass? :mellow:

Thats quite normal. Im in my early 50's and must admit to a lump in my trousers when I see my Coupe.

Blimey that's a bit of a worry, all those lumps everywhere. Anyway welcome to the club Richard some pictures of the bump generator would be nice ;-)

Hi Geoff. I would love to upload some images, but although I've tried, I can't seem tom do it. Do I have to have a premium membership?

No Richard you don't need to be a premium member. Have you had a look at this ;-)

Welcome Richard. Always owned Fords as well. Bought my 330d nearly 2 yrs ago and I still love driving it

Thanks Geoff.

My new baby....
