Hi all, been lurking since March. I traded my 03 M3 conv for my 545 in may and can't stop driving it. My daily driver is getting jellous. But now that gas prices have gone up I don't feel so bad for my Chevy Avalanche(15Mpg vs. 22Mpg for the 545).

Anyhow, just wanted to say hi.

Congrats, and welcome. I know how you feel I can't quit driving mine either. My Z06 is getting jealous even though it had been a weekend only car. Now, I'm trying to split the time between the 2, but just keep wanting to get in the 545i. I'm sure the new will wear off, and I'll get on with my 50/50 plan one day.

Thanks for the welcome. I figured since everyone likes pics of bimmers, I'd show a few of my previous rides.
