Hey, thanks...I rashed one rim, but it was fixed pretty nicely by one of those mobile trucks. The car was real cherry, but it had to go. It would be a real nice pick up for anyone wanting a bare bones, 6-sp Sport.
I got a 2011 Silverado, believe it or not, back in January...has 600 miles on it today! Had I kept the bimmer, I'd have only driven truck in winter and for this and that....gonna make it my daily driver now. Plus I won't mind saving a car payment, a big one.
I never quite got to 4000 posts...so if you guys keep replying with questions & comments, maybe I'll get there!
Later, all...
Oh...my last pic from today.

Just dropped off my '08 550i today to have some repairs done, and I won't see it again...dealer will pick up when done, and then it's all over with! My 3 year lease went quickly...aside from a bad throttle wiring harness (twice) and bad battery, I didn't have any other issues and can't complain, aside from the 3 dealerships it's been to!
26.3K miles and still as shiny as the day I got her...not a single door ding. I was worried about my rear tires not passing inspection, but I stopped by dealership today on way to autobody place, and they checked out...so $450 saved! I will need it for my collision deductible!
Also, since the car is gone, just wanted to wish everyone well here (who is still here from the "older" days). I had some great times on here and "met" a lot of cool people and learned a lot, and hopefully contributed some good info here and there in the process.
Take care all....hope to be back one day!!!
