and that is why you will have twin girls, and they will be really really hwat!

seriously though, boy or girl doesn't matter as long as they're healthy. If we had two girls instead of boys I would still be pushing to get her involved in racing, as long as thats what she wanted to do.

Yes, you do. He seemed right at home at the Dyno meet.

so my wife is sold on a bimmer so i've been trying (seriously trying) to find out any info on 3 series from that year on e90post. i've never encountered a larger collection of pussies in my life. all they post and make threads about are oil changes and arguements with their SA (that's right, "service agent/associate" at the dealership). why bother advertising your pussiness?

What year are you looking at? I have about 6 friends who are or were BMW techs. If you ever want any work done please get in touch with me first and I can put you in contact with very good people... Not Steve... people who do this on the side.

I assume your looking at an E92 not an E46?

e90. nothing terribly special. it's for the wife. would you suggest i have steve take a look at it before buying or one of your buddies?

it's a 2007 328i. if this one today doesn't check out then we'll be looking at an xi of the same year.

Yeah, got a kick out of the comment section. People blasting the dude for not be able to suck it up and move on without making stupid decisions. Nice paper weight he has now.

I would still send it to Steve for that... The guys I know do work on the side so its usually off hours, thats the only reason I say that.

Does your wife commute to work Dan? If she does, you may want to consider the Xi anyways.

good article, marc.

really makes you look and frown at all the garage queens.

my step father's 08 mustang still only has 2600 miles on it. that is pathetic.

yeah she's commutes. like 100 miles a day. i haven't counted them but i am sure it is close to that. the only concern with the 328i is the rwd and possibility of driving it in the snow. she really doesn't put a demand on a car so i don't see her getting squirelly with it. there is a 328xi for $1200 more that i am sure is negotiable but she likes the options of this one.

i figure this would be something good to drive the hell out of for a couple of years without feeling bad about beating on a $40k car. it actually doesn't matter that much to be quite honest though

just seeing that these things were close to $40k in 2007 and now selling for low $20k's makes me never want to buy a new BMW....unless it were an M3.
