Greatings from Brussels, the very hart of Europe !

When I bought my previous BMW (525tds), I mentioned the vendor that it would be my first BMW, and he replied that it won't be my last ...

He was right !

Had a lot of different languages in school:

English, French, Russian, Latin, Greek. Have been in South Africa very often so I can understand a little Afrikaans, if spoken slowly, and also I understand a little Dutch, if spoken slowly.

Born in Germany I speek German, but because of my work (travel agency and NFL) I used to speek so much English, that I sometimes speek a better English than German. I often say: I'm an American born in the wrong country... :winkcool:
Feel more American than German.

Car details below.

Language: American. (Does that count as English?)

A little bit of German but as I tell my German partners, If you speak three languages you are tri-lingual. If you speak two, you are bi-lingual and if you speak one, you are American.
