Hey 5 series forum admins, members, and guests,
Thought it was time that introduced myself. Couple of things about me:
*My name is Nick
*I'm one of those guys that refuses to pay anyone to do anything to anything i own... except cutting my hair, tried that once... didn't work out to well.
*These forums have help me in chainging my oil, eliminate rattle, replace all discs & pads, drain and replace break fluid, and probably change the moulding/weather striping on the rear and front wind screens (about to do it this week, go the stuff in to do it last week.)
*I frequently visit these forums when i have questions about DIY.
*I'm a 1337 n00b (Starcraft I&IIGOLD, GT 1 2 3 4 5, all Mortal Kombats, Final Fantasy 1,2,7,10,11o/l,CC,13,14o/l,AOC,Aion)
*I had a roommate for 4 years that had an M Coupe and Skyline R32 that we frequently ragged out on bored weekends.
*I,m Mechanically inclined (would be a mechanic for a living if it wasn't so hard to make money fast, so i'll stick to my IT job)
*I owned 2 E30 BMW's in highschool (each cost me $1k to purchase and $500 to fix. One was taken in a Tornado, and the other well.. i pulled out too far at an intersection to see around the bend and another car totalled it.)
*I bought an E60 in Jan 2010 in great condition for $14k form a Chevy Dealership lol. It had 60k miles on it. It now has 101k miles on it (wife drives alot for work. She's a pharmacy sales person... I call her a street pharmisist but she hates when i say that lol.
*I live in Georgia
*Oh and i was born Aug 1982
I'm going to do some more research... but if anyone wants to post advice or what i should watch out for at this 100k miles point it would be much appreciaited. I'm about to do a change spark plugs job this week.
