New Owner/Member - Just a Hello
Hi Folks,
Just purchased my first BMW motorcar (well - actually ordered it two weeks ago). Researched the daylights out of it and went with a 335i Steptronic in Monaco Metallic with Cream Dakota leather. Fully loaded, well almost - passed on the Active Steering, Active Cruise Control and the Cold Weather Package (heck - I live on the Pacific coast). Always was into cars but mostly get my real thrills on motorbikes - own quite a few. But when my late model Accord EX-L6 coupe got folded-up, I went looking for a replacement - and I think I made a good choice. Ripped this photo from the Gallery - now my computer desktop until delivery: Nice shot of a great car by its owner. Will probably ditch the run-flats after some hard abuse (skid pad, braking tests and slalom at a huge deserted parking lot nearby. Not into track days or autocross really, raced bikes in both the AMA and AFM in my younger daze. Now on the backside of fifty, I gave it up - just never did have the skill to stand on the podium. Test-drove a similar model (wrong color and missing options) - but it flat flew. On cold or rainy months, I'll put the bikes on trickle chargers and enjoy the excellent BMW automobile - a version of which I should have purchased years ago. Will be certain to post photos when it arrives. Best Regards, Eberhard Last edited by Eberhard; 10-17-2007 at 06:24 AM.. |

I plan on deciding once I get the car - will go 10% darker on the rear and equal tint on all four side windows..
Thanks for the reminder, Eberhard Last edited by Eberhard; 10-16-2007 at 12:46 AM.. |
