Default My Introduction, a little late. 56k NO WAY!

Hi all, I've been posting on here since I bought my ti earlier in January. I'm not new to BMW's as I've had them since 2001
My first was a CPO's 1998 323is:

I had that one for 2 years then bought a 1997 328ic which has to be one of my favourite cars:




During the time I owned the 328ic I also managed to pick up my 1999 540i The 5 is a definate highway cruiser, comfortable, quiet, luxurious and uber powerful.


OK, now here is where it gets tricky... In January of last year I foolishly traded in my 328ic for a 2001 325Ci coupe... While it was a beautiful car...

I desperately missed having a drop top, sold it and... enter 2000 Z3 2.3 in Sept of 2008


The Z3 is an amazing little car that never fails to put a smile on one's face! I don't think I'll ever be parting ways with her... Currently, she's asleep in the garage till April.
Since I've always wanted an e36/5 I finally was able to pick one up a few weeks ago. I have a few plans in store for it, first was a new suspension, and all new front cover and valve cover gaskets, as well as a new cooling system, and vacuum hoses.


As she sits now:

yes, I replaced the missing wheel cover!
Hopefully she is going in for a full repaint this weekend! (same color)

here's a pic of my partner's 330i just to complete what we've got in our collection:

You don't mind giving me 1 of your cars? Seems like you have to much. I don't care which one you give me. I'm not picky.
