Did I hear this joke here? --

What's the difference between a porcupine and a BMW driver?

A porcupine has the pricks on the outside.

Yeah, I agree regarding that sterotype.  Most are.  I'm just a car enthusiast,
not a BMW person.  Actually, I'm a Mustang guy who happens to own a BMW at the
moment.   I actually despise that whole high dollar German car mentality.

Sigh....
I was hoping to find a last generation M3 or something.  It is clean.
What was the price on the notch?

Too expensive.  Funny thing is that for comparable years in the 5-10 year old
range, the 5-series are cheaper.  ??

Wouldn't have bought a 3 series anyway.  Too small.  After 6 months of ppouring
my ass into that Talon, I wanted COMFORT.  Call me old, call me a sell out, I
don't care. This thing is  schweet!


If he still has it, it can be bought for 4500.00. VERY worth it.  He's the same
guy I bought my T-Type from.

My father in law got a 540i when we were at their place for Xmas 2002.  I
went with him to pick it up in Lubbock, TX.  He traded in a really nice
Lexus SC300 for it (my wife wasn't too happy with that choice).  Nice car,
smooth almost to the point of being boring.


As always... too bad I'm not in the market.

Steve

Oh, goodie. Another BMW. A nice practical car. At least you got the year
right.

Sucks to get old, eh, Mike?

(Being a self-professed "car guy", I wish you well with whatever you drive,
but...  Woulda, coulda, shoulda.)

Well, it is a pretty thing...
and it ought to run out pretty well.

How do you like it now that you've had it a few days?
You gonna abandon us and go to the Beemer group now?

Like a freakin' Lazy Boy on wheels that happens to handle very well.


Makes me smile every morning when I'm on the highway driving to school.


Have I ever?  I've been through Mustangs, Buicks, Acuras, Jeeps, Mitsubishis,
Explorers and now a BMW and I'm still here.  Only group I participate in with
the exception of the www.turbobuick.com Msg board.

Nice Bimmer, Mike!  My dad has had several of the older 5-Series now
and they run strong with well over 100,xxx miles on the clock.  The
only reasons he has ever gotten rid of one was to get another.

Of course, there's the one car that took out a 10-point buck at
highway speeds.  He was able to limp that one 5 miles down the highway
afterward.  Hellaciously strong cars.  Hope you never have to prove
that one to yourself.  ;-)

Gracias :-)


184K and runs like new.  Looks like about a 50,000 mile car.


Me too!  It is a very solid car.  It does that that "heavy car/small motor"
feel too it around town but it's deceptive on the interstate.  It's so damn
smooth that you literally have no sense of speed. Plenty of power, just not a
lot of torque.  Quite worth the trade off though.

Sweet ride, Mike.  Best of luck with it.  Hey, if you're old, what the
hell does that make me?  I ain't in the casket yet, and I can still
whip a lot of you young punks' asses with my Strat/Marshall combo.  ;)

I just feel old compared to a lot of the guys here...although most of the regs
around here are my age and older.  Patrick is late 30's, Steve is probably
32'ish, Dwight's older than dirt...and Joe...well, lets just not talk about it
:-)  Are ya sure the arthritis hasn't slowed them fingers down yet?  :-)

By the way...where's SAMuel??

It's ok, Mike.  After 50 you just don't care anymore.  Everything's a
lot more fun now.


So far so good.  Being warm all the time helps.


Good freakin' question!  We'll have to go look him up.  His website
used to be around somewhere...

Hey now Joe, I have a Les Paul/Peavy combo that wants to put a few words in
edge-wise. :)  What's been going on around here anyway? I've been so damn busy
lately that I haven't even signed on in months. I finished up school about a
year ago and I've been working like mad for not nearly enough money. The stang
is doing just horsey, although I'm starting to get the slightest bit of
weathering on the bumper right underneath the headlights, so when serious cash
comes in I'm planning on a paint job. Mike, that's a sweet ride, I can't
believe the miles. The dad had a little z3 for a while, actually still does,
but that is turning into a volvo 'vert as soon as it comes in from that other
continent. It's a handling beast, but quite small, even for us 5'9"ers (he's
6'1" and it's real funny to see him stuff into the thing. :)

Hope all is well guys,
Sam

Check out the Music page on my Webshots page.  There are some pics of our lead

heads now.  What for I'll never know!!  It's total overkill.


It's even harder to believe when your driving too.  Amazing build quality.

Hey Sam...glad to hear from you!!

Just like a 500-hp motor.  Overkill, but necessary.  ;)


Gotta check out all those music pix, not to mention all those fabulous
cars.
