Hello everyone, I just purchased a nearly pristine 2005 6 speed Velocity Red 8 yesterday. It has everything but navigation including the red leather inserts. It has 18.5k miles and I bought it for $12k. The tires need replaced very soon because they are VERY noisy, off balance, and out of alignment. This is probably due to not keeping proper tire pressure. The oil was changed every spring with full synthetic and was garage kept during winter. Everything seems perfect except for the tires, alignment, and maybe an A/C recharge. I'm a 19 year old Mechanical Engineering student and this is my 3rd car, 1st stick. I have previously owned a 94 Dakota and a 98 528i. Pics to come!

Welcome to the addiction . Have a read of the stickies in the new owners forum -there is much to learn.

Here they are. They uploaded upside down for some reason no matter how I rotated them. Any idea how to fix this?
