And thanks! I have obviously always loved cars...I had a Lemans blue on Lemans blue E39 M5. I finally got BBS CH wheels towards the end before selling her because I loved the OEM wheels. |

Thanks guys.
My E46 was my "show car". I use to travel to HIN shows all over the east coast with a BMW crew. Won a few awards but most importantly I met a lot of my current friends from experiences with that car. That front lip from ACS was like 3K and those little struts were like $500 a freaking pair! Had to go authentic then since reps weren't up to par yet back then and its frown upon at shows. I was crazier then lol. HRE's, BBKs all around, ASA supercharger kit, Schrick cams, Carbon hood, ACS everything. It was even featured on Performance BMW Magazine before. I have to see if I still have pics of that. Alan |

I still miss my 323i actually, Orient Blue is still one of my favorite colors and I wish they had it again on more models.

Salt and sand is still around on the roads in March. We need some good rainfall to wash it all away.
I generally go with April. It would be good to hear if other have done earlier without any issues. |

A thread like this makes me want to purchase a set of aftermarket wheels. Perfectly executed modification, all around, Alan. Nice work.

Hi Alan,
Great thread and I wanted to get your latest update on the reliability of the car. I haven't had a chance to go through every page here (yet). I found your original thread asking about X5 reliability rating. So far, what I got is your went with the 6cyl over the 8cyl for that longevity reason. I am in the market for a family SUV and I really want to stick with BMW. However, my last car (2011 335i couple) was ALWAYS in the shop. Out of warranty, it was a nightmare and I ended up trading it in for a Lexus. Now I am in the market for a SUV, I really want to convince myself to go BMW again. But after the 335i and the poor ratings on JD Powers, I am hesitant. |
