The black bangled BMW 530i spotted outside Urban Tadka : Sorry for the pic quality. Pic was too dark. Had to "Equalize" it in Pshop.

hey guys,
good pics of the E60 5 series.. recently a lot of the 5 series esp 530's are being sold.. and now u will get to see mostly 530d's with crdi engines.. they are awesome.. wont even come to know the engine is running.. with huge torque.. will let u know the tech details later.. but to think of it.. the same engines go in the Range Rover 3 ltr diesels and the BMW 730d's!! the 3 series wont be seen so soon now.. the E46 will be replaced by the E90 but it wont be seen soon as it falls below the 40,000 euro's bracket and will need homologation by ARAi.. but expect to see more of the new 5 series and the 7 including a few Range Rovers.. and also the second RR phantom is expected very soon in Mumbai.. will keep u posted!!
Keep Revving!

i guess for homologation purposes. Must have got it before the $40000 import rule came in. Not sure though.

Maverick5490 · 6th March 2005, 22:04

hey guys,
ya the RR phantom was imported for demo purposes, this one will be sent back again and the new one will be kept for the Demo it a Blue coloured fully loaded version. The golden one was a prototype quite old.. benen around the world.. i was one of the first 3 people to see the Phantom when we unloaded it at the Docks around 6 months back.. dint get to see the new one though as i am in Delhi right now.. and the car has already arrived.. and no it does not belong to Poonawala... let me know if any one gets a look at it,
regards,
Maverick
