My Ever Pure BMW 520 E65 Car Story
Not long ago I got a my wonderful car - BMW 520 2003 model and here is my car story.
First I want to say that cars are my passion since childhood so I take interest in every detail concerning cars. That’s great. I used to favor various car marques but for 10 year already my ideal is BMW. Of course if we are not touching such extra makes as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Aston Martin and Porsche and others. These are unachievable for now for me substances.
This BMW is not my first car, I owned VW Passant, Mazda 626 and even Toyota Camry. Each my car was used and after some time bored me. Still owning those cars I was a fan of BMW but I principally desired to attain a new one or 1-2 years used in order to enjoy the car long. I also planned to make serious tuning to my car anyway and to enable this of course new car is required. So now I got my wonderful car - BMW 520.
I bet that the one who at least once drove a BMW would never change it for some other car.
Well my car has the following outstanding things that make the sense of it and urge me to adore it. Of course first it is L6 2.2 engine producing 167 h/p. First I was wondering why this rate is rather low given BMW easily passes the cars with better h/p rate and finally I learnt that this is a bit an illusion or just h/p of BMW are more real and indeed contain more power. So it is, beleive me guys.
Due to it, rear wheels driveline, 6-gears manual transmission my amazing 520 reaches 100 km/h within 9 sec in basic version.
Suspension is independent, brakes are disc vented - well, everything necessary for modern cool and fast car!
But I have to add some important info about my car. When buying my BMW I order to dismantle such features as TCS, ABS and other systems to get the "pure BMW", soon I’ll add a supercharger to current multi-point injection fuel delivery and my BMW will be the ever BMW on earth!
It was my car story, hope to see ideas and comments on car story and my car.:)

You are the second story I’ve read on BMWStory.com about the 520. It sounds like a great car. Unfortunately, we do not get this model in the USA. What kind of fuel mileage do you get? Is this a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder car?
I agree, if you don’t get a thrill out of the roundel on the hood, you should probably own something else. I have owned BMW’s for over 40 years.
