Not one problem with the car

Every day i love it more and more. Its funy because ive heard from friends over and over "everyone loves thier car when they first get it, but get over it after a couple weeks." They are all wrong. I catch myself turning around and looking at it as i walk away from it parked every time. I love it more than i ever have and am looking forward to the future. The mod bug has hit and im loving it.

peace all, Hope you all have similar experiences...what a great car with such a great shelf life!

I hear you. I'm waiting for my new car infatuation to fade, but it hasn't faded one bit.

Mr. Smith · 11-30-2006, 04:30 PM

that is good to hear, i hope i have the same experience

VapoR · 11-30-2006, 04:41 PM

haha i turn around and just look at it too. i thought i was the only one.

Driv3r · 11-30-2006, 04:43 PM

I think most of us do that, and i cant help but do that too.....when im with people i REALLY try not to but when i do they laugh at me saying im obsessed....

AJ M2 comp · 11-30-2006, 05:17 PM

I have the exact opposite problem. I find it hard to look at mine. My car is 6 days old and looks horrible. I need to move back to Hermosa Beach for a few months till the weather gets better.

cantCope I saw the pics of your car next to your dads lambo and they both look absolutely amazing. You are a lucky man! Enjoy the cars and Santa Barbra, I hope he lets you take that thing out every once in a while.

Yup. Redelivered in July and I'm still totally obsessed with it. This forum feeds that though...

My cars are 3 and 18 years old respectively. I still turn around and look. Come march when I have the e92 I expect nothing less. This is exactly what makes these cars special, the "soul"... not the power, not the handling.

similar situation here!

StewtheBassman · 11-30-2006, 07:45 PM

Way cool sig, Noro!

My car is 52,000kms and one year old, and I love it more than ever too!

It's when I took off the RFTs and added Burl Wood that my love turned really hot though!!

I can relate

thats exactly how I envision myself with my e46/M years from now
... still in love with her being unmolested

aghhhhh!

dawgdog · 11-30-2006, 08:07 PM

I have the sedan version but have to say that after about a month that this is the best BMW I have owned. It is fast, smooth, agile, comfortable, and just plain fun! My only complaint is the runflats, and those will go when I get my BBS Ch 19" wheels.

Previous BMWs: 01 530, 03M3 coupe, 06 550.

" i turn around and look at it" ah man who can resist that its impossible not to...

MMMAZi · 12-01-2006, 01:27 AM

haha this is so funny. I do the same thing. I always turn and look at my car.

I always park next other bimmers at my work.(so she wont feel lonely while i am at work

). today i even took picture of it. So i will have it on my laptop while at work.

I miss her sooo much that I might move out from my apartment and move in to my car.

Barry626 · 12-01-2006, 01:32 AM

Looking back @ your car surely is not a BMW thing.
My 07 Sedan is my 13th new car since driving, I look back @ all my cars.
Mreaning: anyone that has a new car even if a hugo will look back @ it!

stressdoc · 12-01-2006, 10:37 AM

I was going to put +1, but at this point it's more like +23 or something. What a great car. I keep expecting to get used to it, to habituate, but it's like my wife that never ceases to amaze me how lucky I am.

BMerDRMer · 12-01-2006, 10:55 AM

Serious "Love In" going on here. It IS a great car ..... and yes I am happy to have it ........ but I sometimes wish this car wasn't quite so refined ..... or common ....... as I look back on the "unsual"stable of new cars I have owned over the years, I miss some of the oddballs ......... 1974 Fiat 124 Sport (My first Manual Transmission, 4 door "boxcar"), 1979 Renault Gordini (Black coupe with removable top and red Recarro Seats), 2001 Turbo Beetle (Embarrassed a 2003 BMW 530i one great day) ........

I think, I would have been happier had I waited a year for the 335i coupe ...... seems to combine the raucous with the refined!

Time for another trip to BMW Performance School !
