Thanks for all of your welcomes!

I'll edit my post (427, not 4327 - ooops!) - I just looked for the edit button - can't find it! I guess I can't edit (oh well). I actually have a 466cui big block putting out about 500hp to the crank - the kick in the pants is the huge amount of torque with such a light weight car (~2600 lbs). I tell people that driving my Cobra is like riding a harley with fours wheels It's a pretty "raw" expereince.

Yes, I bot my '05 545i as a CPO from local BMW dealer here in Fremont. I was also to negotiate the cost of the extended maintenance to match the price offered by TwinKidneyGrill.com, as well, so I'm good for both warranty and service for another 3+ years and 50k+ miles. I also picked up the windsheild warrany, since I went thru one already in my 325i, and there's a lot of road construction on the hiways around here - almost daily my windshield gets hit by a rock/pebble, so I expect this will pay for itself as well.

BWM of Fremont gave me a Nissan Rogue (POS) as a loaner, but I'm not that picky.

My login name (handle) is Cobra 427, because she is my true automotive love. I purchased a Superformance Cobra 4237 SC replica in 2000 and had a local race car fabicator install the drivetrain and numerous other goodies for me, and she was completed for title in 2001. Oh, the joyful memories of "tech bubble" money... For the first few years, I open tracked her with the Nor Cal Shelby Club at Sear's Point and Thunderhill. I'm an active member of the BACC (Bay Area Cobra Club), and I'm a frequent poster on Club Cobra.

Glad to be here,
Randy R...
