Then you know the McDonalds I mean, just past Passaic Avenue on the East bound lane of 46....too funny
Yep. I used to go to Euro Tire a few doors down, but they got way too expensive. They are quite professional though, and in some cases worth the extra $$.

Yeah, yeah, I know, wayyyyy off topic..................

Dealers in NJ must be running a special on 525i's. Stepped out for lunch today to visit the McDonald's drive-thru, about 3 miles from my Fairfield ofice. Met a 525 at the traffice light just outside my office. Turned the corner and let a black 525i pull out of an active driveway, got my order from the drive thru and spotted another black 525i as I pulled away.
was that a GANG meet? That is nice, this year's color is white they say, I also like the white but for me white is black too

haha, I know the feeling.. The BMW dealers are running special lease offers on the 520d here in Denmark, so there is a lot of 520d in Copenhagen right now..

Nice cars, but they are without any extras at all!! :thumbsdown:

I picked up my mon and dad downtown Copenhagen two days ago, and parked behind two 520d's (they were waiting for some people too), and the owners of the 520d's looked alot when I pulled up behind them in a bigger E60

You've been watching too much of The Sopranos. The truth is that there was only one kid in my high school whose father was killed by the mob. OK, maybe 2. But that happens everywhere, right

New Jersey is actually an amazing state, and truly misunderstood.

BTW, I agree with the white, as I have an alpine white on order. My first white car, and I went back and forth between white and jet black until my wife tried to throw me out a window. As I was truly torn, I let my 3 year old call it (after she finally realized pink was truly not an option). The white and 6M are what I'm looking forward to the most.

Please drop by Beverly Hills or Newport Beach in socal sometimes, You will see more E60 then Taxi + buses. Rare cars like Bentley, Austin Martin, Ferrari or lamborghini are everywhere near these areas. I see at lease 15-20 E60 on my way to work everyday in 11 miles. I don't feel any special for driving an E60 here.

These people are so rich but they'll walk there dogs 2 blocks down and shit on your front yard. They'll steal wood logs from construction site after sunset. I couldn't believe my eye... was it how they become richy? I don't like my stingy & cheap but rich neighbors man... I want to move to Seattle or San Fransisco.

When the 3-series became "too" common in UK, BMW began to restrict supply to maintain artificial exclusivity.
