Thanks again everyone! Luxembourg, thanks for the invite. Man, I really wish I could go but my parents are still in town and I promised my dad I would take him to Triburg (sp) this weekend to see where his beloved clocks are made. If it was just a weekend in May...

Thanks everyone. I am still in Germany and will be until July 2009. The license plate bracket was on from the previous owner so I left it. I considered getting the long plates, but since the previous owner had the short plate frames, I didn't want to mess with the paint. Usually folks wait and buy their BMWs when they leave, but they miss out on driving them here in the land of speed. I find myself setting the cruise control at 120MPH and cruising at that speed for up to an hour or so before traffic makes me slow down.
Damn I miss driving in Germany! People who say they like how a BMW handles but never cruised at A-bahn speeds for long periods just don't really know. To me, this is what separates BMW from the Japanese and American competition.

Thanks for all of your kind words! I took my folks to southern Germany this weekend. My dad took this picture on the way back...I actually got it to 150, but he took the picture just below that. :-)

Nice...I would take a trip to Germany just to drive on the autobahn 150+ and not have to worry about a ticket!
