Time to move on...
well, guys it seems that my time has come to move on. im at work today and decided to go ahead and place an order for an '08 BMW 335i. the car will be here in about 3 months from Germany. as for the max, i decided to go ahead and store it in my backyard and leave it as a spare car. i will not get rid of it at least i don't think i am.

No compasisson but I used to have a '99 325i convertible and recently took a '05 330ci cross country. Those cars are the best touring car. So smooth and stable on the open freeway at high speeds. We hit flat open highways in Alabama to Florida with no traffic doing 130+ and felt like I was going 70

trust me i did skip it. i don't need it and i don't want it. simply because i program these cars all day long and the i-drive equipped 3-series are too much of a pain in the *** to program. when BMW releases a new software for the E90 they always take about 4 hours to program and sometimes they fail and that pisses me off and the same thing if it had a telematics unit for the phone. these cars work off a most-bus system which is a fiber optic light that communicates all the modules inside the car with everything else. so i ordered mine with just with the sport package, terra black dakota leather, brushed aluminum trim, 6-speed manual. oh and the car will be jet black.

yeah that lasted 1 day. they wanted me for fork out $66 for floormats and i work for them. what kind of **** is that!? so what i did was go to the bodyshop and luckily i found one that was declared a total loss and i just grabbed the floor mats off that one and put them into my 3 series. saved me the $66.
