Well, guys, the day has come to let go of my beloved 530i. She was a great car with a lot to offer, but after 4 1/2 years, it is time for something new. I will have a few mods for sale in the classifieds soon.

I've met a lot of people from around the world on this forum, and have made a lot of friends. I'll still be around here sometimes I imagine, so it's not really goodbye. I'm harder to get rid of than that.

Cheers,

-Calvin
