My Ride: 2004 530i 6M
Hello everyone! My name is Greg and I live in Ontario, Canada. I agreed to purchase a 2004 530i 6M with 78,000km on June 29, 2008. What a beauty! It should be ready this Thursday!
I've gone through several cars in the last 10 years but none of them stirred my soul the way the BMW did on the test drive.
The cars I have owned together with my wife:
84 Pontiac Fiero
93 Pontiac Grand Am
89 Nissan Maxima
00 Mustang V6
00 Celica GT
01 Accord LX
05 Volvo S40 (we kept this one, the wife loves it)
05 Honda CR-V
07 Toyota Camry SE
I currently drive a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT with the monster 5.7 HEMI. Boy does this thing throw you back in the seat!! I bought it after owning a 2007 Camry 4 cyl. mainly because I finally wanted to treat myself to some horsepower. This was a mistake. Sure the power is addictive, but power isn't everything. At 65,000 miles (104,000 km) Chrysler quality is starting to surface its ugly head. So I have 3 more days of driving the Magnum, and then it's time to get behind the wheel of my first ever BMW! I hope it doesn't break down much...
Cheers
Greg
