Just wanted to spread my joy!
« on: July 08, 2010, 10:14:11 pm »
Just purchased a used BMW 325 touring AWD 2004 earlier today! I know I know what's the big deal you're gonna say and I agree.  But I missed my 2002 and needed to get back in one of those.  So now I'm happy :), delivery is tomorrow Friday, can't wait...

 
Which is worst: turbo lag or stomach flu?

I know I know what's the big deal you're gonna say and I agree.

Age and cost are irrelevant.  Enjoy the moment.   :cheers:

Congrats! I went back to E46 recently after a couple of years, too. They're still a satisfying car to drive.

Thanks for the pix, looks very sharp. Great color. Enjoy.  :drive: :drive:

In your OP, you said you missed your 2002 - as in 2002 model year BMW (if so, what was it?), or as in the original BMW 2002? You probably have to be as old as I am to have had the 2002, but one never knows...... ;)

No not the BMW 2002 model (and I am also over 50  ;))but a 2002 325 XIT that I bought used 5 years ago.
