MY 2005

Here is a pic of when she was alive:

 

such a sexy car, love the blue

 

Dam thats too bad. Enjoy the new ride and take care of it
Where can I buy a fire extinguisher?

 

Darn you Rotary Rasp, now you've got me [re-] considering a 335i.

Great adventure and machine! I've driven' bimmers on Germany's autobahns a number of times and there's nothing like it. Enjoy!!

 

Believe it or not, the bimmer has a spot in the trunk that was made for a fire extinguisher. I need to go buy one asap. lol

 

I carry a small fire extinguisher in every vehicle, right under the driver's seat, 'cause as I'm sure you now well know Rotary Rasp, anything can happen!

But not to a bimmer of course.

 

Oh, I thought you said fuel light - my bad. So, you did the Mazsport Ignition to move the fuel line. I'm going out and check mine right now.

/crap

 

Rasp didn't have the mazsport. he put in OEM coils
Dealership replaced engine, messed up the fuel lines

 

Ah - thanks. Lame *** stealership monkeys.

 

that's an amazing trip. i saw the same things you did, besides the "owners" restaurant. on my trip in the summer, i went to the mercedes museum and factory, porsche museum, and bmw museum and factory. to top it off, i worked for Ruf for 3 weeks (it's right near you were too...at the castle). anyways, i have to do this again when and if i get a new bmw.

 

I really wanted to do more traveling but this trip was sort of unplanned. And I did it during the semester so I couldn't miss too much school.

I'm itching to go back!

 

Very nice pics! What kind of camera were you using? I was looking into getting a SLR soon.

Congrats RR!

 

That is one of the coolest stories I've ever heard. Everything happens for a reason and I'm happy you got to have a once in a lifetime trip like that as your reward!

 

Wow thats not good man you need to get a honda

 

Fantastic story, Beautiful new car (Bloody fast too), and Amazing restraint....

.... The restraint not to drive STRAIGHT to the Nururgring.

Shame galpin didn't get their comeuppance but oh well, insurance coverd it and now you join the ranks of these guys... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bFRSS8pYf0

 

Thanks! it's a Nikon D80.

 

that video was hilarious!

 

Congrats on your new ride! One of my car related dreams is to do what you just did, so thank you for making such a great post about it.

 

this is the problem i have with BMW... I can't decide which one i want!
The 335 is gorgeous but big.
The 135 is decent looking but small and sporty..
AHH!

Nice shadowline grills btw and that color looks fantastic on the 335, but terrible on the 135.. so weird!

 

What a great story. Great pics too, btw. After watching you work on the 8 on your web cam (not to mention all the happenings in your neighborhood when you pointed it out the window, haha) I'm a little sad to see it go myself. Good times.

 

^^^ he sure had some strange neighbors...

 

aww, the good old web cam days....

I should do that again.

 

That dealership looks Freaking nice !

If any car dealership in NY looks like that, I will get another car for sure, I dont care if the economy is bad or if my parents + gf going to rape me. AHHHH

and you were SPEEDING !!!! oh wait ... not NY ... argh ...

 

CONGRATS!

Lame-*** dealer!

Awesome story!

For my next German car I am definitely doing European delivery!!!

 

well, technically the Welt is not a dealership- it's an exhibit. They don't sell any cars there, they only deliver them to customers.

If you went in there an wanted to buy a car, they would tell you to walk down the street to the BMW dealer and place an order. After few weeks you could go to the Welt and pick up your new car.
