...with my inlaws. Pretty fun so far, tons of Bimmer eye candy. My uncle in law has a 5 series diesel wagon, havenīt gotten to go out in it yet...
I noticed that nearly all the expensive cars her had really crappy wheels, I was thinking that perhaps they do that because of thieves, but it turns out that nearly all German drivers have a back up set of steel wheels and snow tires, hence the butt-ugly wheels on $80k cars...
Sadly, the autobahn here has a speed limit most of the time, so no 140mph fun this year.
Merry Christmas! __________________ Silver 98 318ti Standard trans, Sport Package: 16" Stock Wheels, Foglamps, Sunroof, Heated Leather Seats, Bilstein performance shocks, OEM Sach's clutch kit, Dunlop SP Sport A2 225/50/16 tires, Alpine CDA 7894, Dual Rockford Fosgate 12" subs, Rockford Fosgate Amp, Leather Armrest, Replaced M44 engine with only 40k on it!

Of course there are craploads of BMWs here...seriously, like every 10th car... For some insane reason, not many of them have the model number on them. I guess the just donīt care about that there... I saw a newer...like 2000-2001 318 diesel... I didnīt know they existed. What I am pretty sure was a 95-99 M3 that had 4 factory exhaust pipes..? The horrible 1 series... Tons of stuff they we donīt have in the states... Not too many tuned bimmers, they are pretty strict on stuff like that here... Car inspections are way, way, way more through here. __________________ Silver 98 318ti Standard trans, Sport Package: 16" Stock Wheels, Foglamps, Sunroof, Heated Leather Seats, Bilstein performance shocks, OEM Sach's clutch kit, Dunlop SP Sport A2 225/50/16 tires, Alpine CDA 7894, Dual Rockford Fosgate 12" subs, Rockford Fosgate Amp, Leather Armrest, Replaced M44 engine with only 40k on it!
