My Ride: 06 530i Premium and Cold Weather Package
Orient Blue, Tan Interior
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!!!
