...I brought home a brand new 2011 135i. Y'all probably saw the thread (http://www.thevettebarn.com/forums/other-car-truck-brands/8910-please-welcome-newest-member-my-automotive-family.html). Now look at it...

That's not a reflection of the ground, it's really covered in brown dirt...

Was at an instructor clinic this past weekend having some skid pad fun. Don't worry, it's all sparkling clean again. :)

Tank of gas - $45
Car wash - $20

Still a great looking car, even covered w/ dirt. I never understood people who buy a vehicle and won't drive it for fear of getting it dirty. But then again, I drive a Jeep ...........

In a New York minute :yesnod: most fun Bimmer I've ever had...and I've had 3 before this one. Wouldn't change a thing about it...love all the options on the car.

I've been taking it to instructor clinics and autocrosses and have had a blast...car is very tossable, zippy (gotta love the sound of the twin scroll turbo). A great handler on tight courses. 6 piston brakes stock! :hurray:

On road courses though I still prefer the vettes...

I had a 71 2002 and I think it was still one of the most fun to drive cars I have ever had.
