J French:

Glad you got your 528i, I received mine last Tuesday, Leap Year Day!!! Now my car only ages
Once every Four Years !!

I agree with everything you say, but feel that
after 'enjoying' the Ford Explorer radio that I
had for the last 5 years, the BMW stock radio is
not that bad.....I plan on adding the CD player
soon though.

Yes, I too have the Sport Package and the wheels,
tires, (Dunlop for me too), steering wheel, suspension, and blackout trim is all well worth
the $. Heck, the steering is worth it to me all
by itself !!!!

Brakes, what can I say, they really, really, stop
the car. I want to rave about the climate control, it's wonderful...really works well and
in my case warms up the car very fast on our cool
mornings.

With only 275 miles in it so far I am still burning the dealers gas that they put in. I'm
at 1/3 tank, so not too bad of mileage for a fresh
engine.

Plan on ordering the chrome grille slats and
bringing a little more interest to my Alpine
White with Black interior. The little chrome,
alum. wheels all act together as 'silver' .

Good luck with your new 'friend' and enjoy many,
many trouble free miles.

David
