My girlfriend and I left work early to pick up the car at 4. We got out of the dealer at 5pm and arrived home at 9:30. There's already 350 KMS on the odometer. I am planning to be at 2000kms very soon so I can really start to let her rip.

I hope you and your cars and well . . .

Greg

Congrats. It's the sedan, right?
You should post some pics.

She, like other wives here (most likely) are happy that this is the extent of our internet obsessions.....our cars!!! And they don't want to go through our silly posts LOL!

You always want pics, eh Tom....how about if you pony up some pics ...of something....ANYTHING???!?!?!?!?!

Greg, congratulations!!! How was the delivery experience?

Bimmerista · 10-27-2006, 04:02 PM

GF congratulations on your new baby.

Post some pics (of course).

Stew, nice X5 you got there. BTW, burl wallnut is really burl wallnut....very fine slivers of burl walnut affixed on a polymer backing and plastified (the finish) to protect said sliver of authenticity-but authentic it is.

I am driving for the moment an automatic 325. Funny enough it is the encapsulation of all the little niggly things posted here in different forums:

-hesitation on start (bcs starts in second gear) : check

-oil sensor screwy (light is on-indicator shows minimum but only tells you to add 1 litre) : check

-grippy brakes from a standing start (intermitent - due to software glitch the hill assit comes in play even on even surfaces) : check

-stuck door handles rear : check

Beautiful, great installation too, the wood looks really great! Congratulations Stew!

StewtheBassman · 10-27-2006, 05:06 PM

Wolf, you get credit for this Burl Obsession - partly.....I really wanted it when I ordered the car but they didn't have it when my car went into production.

Whatever.

But when we got together I really liked how it looked in your car and it pissed me off enough to find it - here as it happens, from longtran, the post count and Mod King of e90post.com!

Now Bimmerista, thanks for the affirmation, I was thinking what arrogance to charge $500 on the 325 for friggin' plastic, but now that I know it IS wood....well, it's still not worth an additional $500 but fuck it, I have it now for $300.

As for your loaner, the CAR NEEDS OIL.

Stuck rear door handles, check, so did Tom.
Hill Brake helper, check, on the flat, but I think it's fun.

I went by a new Space Grey 335i with a 50ish woman in it on the 20 in stop and start traffic today. I looked over to give her the thumbs up, I even tooted twice, but she didn't look over, she was watching the traffic. SNOBBY BMW driver!!!

Gotta go wash my car now and garage it for the weekend!!

findtom · 10-27-2006, 10:33 PM

Stew, it is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to early for merry xmas!

findtom · 10-27-2006, 10:43 PM

From the top...

My aunt's 5 series wagon
My late grandfather's 3 (?) series wagon
My cousin's M3
My lovely (POS!!) rental car
My last car in front of the Sopranos house

findtom · 10-27-2006, 10:50 PM

Parent's dog...

findtom · 10-27-2006, 10:52 PM

Artsy shots... taken in NY.

StewtheBassman · 10-28-2006, 05:44 AM

Now that's more like it Tom!

Thewhte wagon is a t5 series. Those wagon pics are lovely, esspecially your Aunt's place. The renatl car is depressing. The dog is cute, and the sopranos' house is hilarious!

Was the NYC pic taken from the ESB or the WTC?? I love New York!

findtom · 10-28-2006, 09:18 AM

The pic of my grandfather's car and my aunt's car were both taken at my grandfather's place. So it's an old 5 series? Do you know roughly what year it was?

I remember him going apeshit when I was a kid because I drew something on the back window in the dirt. He was a hardcore BMW guy, had them almost his whole life.

Pic taken from the ESB. The other one was taken in lower mahattan.

You're amongst a few that does that here in Quebec. Mostly, when I look to see if other notice me and then maybe give them the thumbs up i'd rather give them the finger up ! People here in Quebec are mostly look straight ahead and don't even think of bothering with other people on the road. Have you notice that less and less motorcycle send each other a hand ?! That shows where we're at now. There was a time when EVERY single moto on the road would salute the others. No matter the type of bikes. So now forget about car drivers .... But I still love seeing a nice woman in a BMW . iam ! Miam ! It's just that they don't notice me appreciating them. Tant pis pour elles

StewtheBassman · 10-28-2006, 07:44 PM

She was old and yukky, obviously a heartless cow.

Get this - a Mazda ricer pulled up hard behind me yesterday.....I stayed slow and then pulled my washer stick hard and long

Dumbass got my wiper fluid all over his clean black ricer........dumbass!

ssam · 10-28-2006, 08:26 PM

Well I remember that we were giving a thumb to each others with TOM last year when we were waiting a light in oldmontreal.....at that time we didn t know that we both were on this forum

StewtheBassman · 10-28-2006, 09:01 PM

And I was begging Bimmerista's wife for details on how good xDrive was in our parking garage - before I knew she was Bimmerista's wife LOL!!!

Waldorf · 10-29-2006, 01:00 AM

That was back in the good old days when an E90 was a fairly rare sight.
